I'm guessing that most of the media is filled with such people, so is the BBC any different to other news outlets in this respect? A "cultural liberal bias" is the way the whole western world has gone these days, so that aspect is not surprising. It is making sure that they get their facts right and there is no political bias that is important to me.

And don't forget to factor in any personal bias those people expressing their opinions on BBC neutrality may have; even Nigel and Andrew!
