Sammy Wilson: BBC bias is plain for all to see, so we don’t need a well paid guru to tell us so
At a time when it is threatening to take pensioners to court for non-payment of their license fee, private companies are having to tighten their belts because of the economic impact of Covid and many low paid workers have been forced into poverty as a result of being furloughed or losing their jobs, the BBC creates yet another sinecure for one of its executives.
Why on earth anyone needs to be paid anything to unearth bias in the BBC is a mystery.

Most of their presenters cannot hide their bias through the content of the programmes, the way they question those who the BBC despise and the imbalance in the commentators who they employ to give opinions on the issues which they report.
This announcement is yet another reason why the BBC licence fee must be scrapped and individuals should be given a choice on how to spend their money and who they wish to buy their news and entertainment from.
