The BBC which makes much of its 'objective' and 'balanced' news coverage, when challenged by the facts of its biased coverage of events in the Middle East and elsewhere, cites examples of where it has given voice to all sides of the issue. This is debatable, but let's assume that the BBC does present all sides then it really comes down to numbers as the following example of the vast disparity, not only in numbers but also in content, between its Syria/Libya and Bahrain coverage.
Between 29 May and 21 June the BBC news website carried fifty-seven stories on events in Syria.
By comparison during the same period the BBC carried just twelve stories on Bahrain, eight of which were on the Formula One race (an indication of where BBC heads are at).

Disagree.. its the same as the CBC (canadian broadcasting corporation)... During elections they are so biased its not even funny! The BBC used to be, IMO, a somewhat reliable news source... now its little more than a tool to brainwash citizens into agreeing with corrupt government. Its the CNN of the U.K... controlled MSM!

the BBC cannot be biased, it is part of the regulations that govern them... they HAVE to be fair and balanced in any story they cover.. including during election time.. in fact alot of their tv and radio shows cannot even mention the elections during this time.. only news or specific political shows generally cover this subject..
The BBC cannot be compared to CNN.. that is a ridiculous statement..
they are a completely different corperations from different countries.. its like comparing burger king and mcdonalds..
haha IF thats true... and YOU actually believe they are not biased then WHY did they not report on any of the protester killings in Bahrain, Yet they demonize (and believe me, im not saying the Syrian government is the best, not even close) Syria? Biased much? Seriously? Check your head friend! The BBC IS CNN, THE CBC IS CNN! MSM is NWO, and you've obviously taken the bait, hook, line and sinker

Again I refer back to the OP... if its the case that they are NOT biased.. WHY then (and I am asking you seriously to explain this to me) did they pick and choose the conflicts on which they were reporting? Is the Formula One race in Bahrain more important than the protesters dying? I know you are loyal to the BBC.. I was the same and still feel slightly bruised when someone downplays the CBC, but seriously, open your eyes. You cannot state for a fact that they are unbiased just because they are mandated not to be... come one dude!

You should have read my

directly to the BBC.

There is bias in the BBC, and the most obvious place to see this is in its sports coverage. If a sport has a history that comes from the Establishment then the coverage is second to none. Tennis at the moment getting superb coverage. The Oxford - Cambridge boat race, always gets good coverage. When they can afford it the Golf on the BBC is excellent. If a sport comes from the people, then the coverage is grudging, sparing, or non-existent.
Then there is the one single sport that proves the BBC coverage is biased: Rugby. Rugby Union turns into an Onanistic orgy of self indulgence and endless coverage. Rugby League is treated as if it was sponsored by Al Qaeda and played by pedophiles. In this respect the BBC is one of the most biased organisations on the face of the planet.
