How is laying out his beliefs attacking him? More like a party political broadcast for one man I would have thought.
The same biased BBC who have had Nigel Farage on QT 11 times. They've had Dimbleby on even more times.

Party totals as of March were 184 Labour and 181 Tory.
The audience, the questions and how people are dealt with is a better indicator. For example they could invite Corbyn on 12 times in a row just to take the piss out of him.

Are you pointing out that they have a dig at left wingers too?I don't think the BBC have a bias only against anything that appears to be 'right'. They have a bias against anything that isn't 3rd way (Blairite, this includes Cameron).
I think this is why both the left and the right complain of bias. The right perceive 3rd way politics as the modern ivory tower trendy liberal lefty (i.e. left but significantly distinct from old fashioned left). The left seem to perceive 3rd way politics as some form of soft Toryism.

There was a good dig at Miliband recently. Isolated instances, even two or three, prove nothing - years and years of their track record tell the story including confessions from the inside - as detailed in the BBC Bias thread and repeatedly ignored by the beeb's apologists.
'confessions', 'apologists' - good lord man it's a bloody broadcaster, not ISIS.TTwiggy said:

The BBC has always attacked both sides, but it's funny how the right wing zealots only see what they want to see.
Wow the BBC are giving the commie a hard time. The BBC is still very leftwingAmazingly, left-wingers who could spot a biased semicolon in the DM fail to spot massive bias in the BBC.
Not so amazingly, right wingers can see both.
Bias in any direction in a supposedly neutral and impartial national broadcaster remains a disgrace. It happens to be left-wing bias.
This has probably been done before, but I only saw it today...

In a response to a letter signed by 120 MPs demanding that the BBC stop using the term on the grounds it gives undue credibility to the Islamic extremists, Lord Hall of Birkenhead warned that using an alternative would be “pejorative”...

WTF, haven't our MP's got more important things to worry about than this? Someone/thing leaning on them? Weird....It was signed by influential figures such as Boris Johnson and Alex Salmond and backed by David Cameron, who earlier this week expressed frustration at the BBC's continued use of the term.
