Well, the election campaign is barely under way and the BBC are possibly more blatantly supporting Labour than usual. Mind you, over recent years they have been more open about their decision to break the law and be biased.
So we get a statement about Cameron's claim that Labour will raise taxes and make cuts, giving a figure of £3000. The BBC then give a commentary that they can't possibly know this. Switching to analysing Labour's claims things are different.
Labour have quoted business people in an FT advert, but just forgot to ask them if it was OK. The BBC modify this truth to explain, they did tell people in advance they would be using the quotes and that most stand by Labour.
The quotes were about staying in the EU and big business has done very well in their dealings with the Brussels bureaucracy. If the EU want to bring out new regulations, they bring in big businesses to ask about its impact. So the big boys agree rules that suit them and do the most damage to small competition. Cushty.
But the BBC 'missed' the biggest point regarding Miliband's advert. And that is that Cameron is offering a referendum to see what the people of Britain want. Miliband is saying he will allow no such thing. The people cannot be trusted with such things. He knows best and he will decide.
Now as the EU, big government and having an elite ignore the general population are all dear to the BBC executives hearts, of course they don't bring it up. Ed is right!
Labour have, of course, countered Cameron's claims to some degree, by admitting they have no plans to balance the books and will be borrowing more. The BBC didn't mention this, naturally.
