Open letter to BBC News

"The BBC is regulated by a Royal Charter and its accompanying Agreement. These recognise the BBC's editorial independence and run to 2006. - How can you even attempt to claim editorial independence given your recent coverage of the anti-war protests?
You shoot interviews and your reporter after the march has ended when you don't have to show any of the anti-war campainers, and then interview a pro-war campainer - where was the real coverage of the march? Where was the interview with the anti-war campainer? Could you really have your head stuck any more firmly up this corrupt govenment's backside? One day they will have to answer to a higher power, your day will come too. Once upon a time I supported and respected the BBC for their independence and unbiased reporting - now you can sue me for your license fee because I'm not paying money to you while you're working for the government instead of what is right and the representing the real opinion of the people of the country.
I have posted a copy of this email to www.indymedia.org - please feel free to reply on there - you might learn something about unbiased reporting while you're there.

Read the BBC Charter at http://www.bbc.co.uk/info/bbc/charter.shtml then email newsonline@bbc.co.uk with your opinions of their "coverage" of the anti-war effort.
