In that case I'd ask you to consider the next time they report a government initiative. Is the headline factual ie. "Coalition announce plans to remove spare room subsidy from council tenants", or does it betray what they think of the policy ie. "Tory bedroom tax criticised"?
Whatever you think about that specific policy, I'd argue that as the nation's broadcaster, paid for by the licence fee, they have a duty to report factually. All elements of the story should be covered but it shouldn't be presented at the start from either side of the argument.
This is worth a read
