BBC is too left wing and should share licence fee, says former executive In his first public commentary upon the BBC, Mr Mosey criticised the uniformity of views and questioned why the corporation should soak up all the license fee funds. Describing the BBC practice of co-ordinating editorial content across the organisation, he said: "It means that more of the same core content plays across even more platforms. "Co-ordination can therefore lead to homogeneity; and that can be intensified by regulation that sees there being "right" and "wrong" answers. "The BBC Trust speaks the language of diversity but in its edicts it promotes conformity, whether it's about an agreed approach to the science of climate change, "correct" terminology in the Middle East or the way of documentary about benefits should be constructed. This has obvious risks. He added: "It does suggest there should be a debate about how the next license fee settlement helps pluralism and diversity." He said the BBC's huge market share of TV and radio news, which is estimated at 70 per cent, was "uncomfortable" and argued more funding should be made available to competing non-commercial ventures. He cited a radio service proposed by Channel 4 as a challenger to BBC Radio 4 which failed to find sufficient financial backing. Mr Mosey, who took up a position as Master of Selwyn College Cambridge after leaving the BBC in July, said: "The hard question for the corporation is why in a digital age it should have the whole pie to itself forever - when doing something different might be better for the public good." He stresses that his proposal is not to take a "wrecking ball" to the BBC whose "strengths remain manifest." A BBC spokesman said: "We want every licence fee payer to have a part in the conversation about the future of the BBC. This is one strand of that.
