Thank you - it's interesting how words are used differently in different countries. In the UK, the word "Liberal" is only used to describe our "middle of the road" political party, the Liberal party. May I ask why you consider the BBC to be "liberal"? As I said in my original post, the BBC is apolitical - it has to be, by the terms of the charter under which it operates, and there's a completely independent governing body whose job it is to ensure that it really is. Heads roll when they get things wrong.
That's interesting, but do you think that a slight bias towards selecting white people to poll is going to account for a poll showing that 48% of people don't believe in evolution as an explanation for the origin of
homo sapiens? Why would the colour of someone's skin affect their view of such matters?
