BBC Bias Challenged

Britain’s Conservative Party has lodged a formal complaint against the BBC, alleging that the BBC is biased against the Tories “all the damn time,” as party leader Iain Duncan Smith puts it. The complaint focuses on the recent elections, in which the BBC tried to minimize the significance of the Tories’ success. It’s hard to believe, frankly, that the BBC would deny that it is biased against the Conservatives; I assume the BBC’s employees consider that to be part of the job description.
