BBC 'liberal bias' on religion and immigration to be reviewed It's an acceptance that these are areas where people are particularly concerned that we should get it right. We've been criticised in those areas and we think it's very important to listen to that criticism, not necessarily because it's right but because it reflects real and interesting concerns. The Trust has commissioned the review as a follow-up to a 2007 report called From Seesaw to Wagon Wheel, which found that technological and social change had led to a spread of opinion that went beyond the traditional divide of left versus right. The report set out principles for the BBC to ensure it remained impartial and provided the full breadth of views in its reporting. The new review, to be led by the former ITV chief executive Stuart Prebble, will check on the progress made by the broadcaster since then. Mr Prebble will consider, among other things, whether the opinions of viewers and listeners who take part in phone-ins are given due weight, the Guardian newspaper reported. His review will also examine whether the BBC has done enough to ensure that those who hold minority views know they can participate in on-air debates. The BBC has long been criticised for its supposed left-leaning culture, with Jeremy Hunt, now Health Secretary, among those who have called on it to address its "innate liberal bias."
