And also berate the BBC constantly. Not quite as much as the Sunday Times, apparently, which allegedly employs a media correspondent to pump out anti-BBC articles more or less exclusively (see Private Eye).

Of course the editor of Private Eye is a totally unbiased party who doesn't get a huge pay cheque for appearing on the BBC every other week...

I'm sure that's libel. Mr Hislop will be putting Messrs Sue Grabbit and Runne onto you. For a start, he probably doesn't accept cheques. Just straight into his bank account by Faster Payments thanks very much.

I actually perceive him as biased only against sleaze, cant, waste, public spending, councils, BBC, the Press, Editors, Journalists (except his own), Banks, Big Business, and Andrew Neil.

Apart from that, he seems not to have any political colour.

You quite obviously have never read the magazine, I gather - the BBC gets its fair share of criticism also, although not quite as spurious as from the chaps in Wapping and Canada Water.
