The issue on that specific story was that Nick was given nearly 7 minutes of response, which was edited out on the main evening news with a "he declined to answer" dismissal. Technicalities surrounded the legitimacy of that edit, but YouTube videos showed the whole episode and the edit was, at best, disingenuous.
This single event spurred the whole BBC protest, and brought widespread attention to actually quite a lot of small, arguably subtle but definitely existent, biases in the reporting.
