I think it's perceived ANTI government bias
Whichever party is in power always seems to believe the BBC is against it
That's why New Labour created the BBC Trust in the first place, wasn't it? Brown and Blair were furious that the beeb was biased against them and wanted to rein it in
I'm finding this debate very interesting, I am deeply pro BBC but have had some food for thought recently
