I always thought the BBC was leftist leaning out to get the more conservative at every opportunity.

Personally I think that as the BBC is paid for by the public they should put public interest first and while remaining balanced not be afraid to challenge anyone of any particular leaning. In one sense they don't need to be popular as they don't rely on advertising and the worry of loss of revenue from that source but that also means they need to reflect a wide range of views and maybe even challenge views that are popular if they aren't "right".
