Recent bias

Sometimes BBC bias is not just about what is said and how it is said, it is sometimes about what is not said at all. This has been the case recently.

• Today on Andrew Marr Show Corbyn asked extensively about the Tom Watson affair but no mention of Boris Johnson's alleged misuse of power or of public money before he became Prime Minister
• Around 20 Conservative Party members have been suspended for posting or endorsing Islamophobic material online. There has not been much coverage of this or the failure to set up an independent inquiry into Islamophobia. We know how concerned the BBC is about anti-Semitism in the Labour Party.
