Sadly, I have to agree with the underlying sentiment here. BBC Television is no longer a world class act. It has some very good bits but the majority ain't worth watching. BBC News and documentaries are both particularly poor. I can only comment on the things I know about - but whenever such topics are covered by the News or Panorama or Newsnight they are invariably misrepresented and unbalanced. Therefore, I suspect that when I watch subjects which are not within my knowledge base I'm being fed the same tendentious line.
Come on Beeb journalists defend your lack of balance!
Oh - I would say the Radio 4 crowd seem to do a significantly better job than the televisual team.
