Except you just know it won't work this way. It'll be added to our council tax, or will be a flat charge applied to everyone's broadband.

ROFL. Or I could just continue to pay £0.00 and not watch the BBC's biased BS.

Are you one of those people that things it’s too biased to the right, or one of those people that think it’s too biased to the left?

I live in Scotland. Read about academic research on how BBC Scotland frames stories vs. how similar stories are framed by BBC Wales:

AND

Even within Scotland read how stories are framed by the BBC Scotland vs. STV News:

There is no other word to describe this but bias. Not right vs. left . . . but Westminster vs. Scotland.

I'm sure people in Russia say the same about the BBC and RT.
