I was a little bemused at the response to that. QT audiences are usually
selected to represent UK political opinion. If the BBC did do that, they can
hardly complain at the outcome! I agreed with a good deal of what was said –
I just did not like the tone 100% of the time.
As for news independence, I think it is easy for any one report to be
ill-informed are appear biased. But over time independence of any source
should be possible. The great thing about the BBC News is that they only
have a remit to report news – not maintain commercial income.
