BBC TV abandoned any pretence of impartiality (or accuracy of reporting) this morning...
Are you really suggesting that BBC is taking sides in this dispute - and is on the side of the union and strikers? That's quite remarkable, because the usual moan on internet forums is that BBC is pro-Labour, and it is generally acknowledged (although I disagree) that the action being taken by Unite is damaging the Labour government.

In the news reports I have heard (I tend to listen to Radio 4 rather than watch TV news) both sides have been allowed to present their case and have been robustly challenged by the interviewer. Which is exactly as it should be.

Incidentally, earlier this morning it was reported that David Cameron criticised Gordon Brown for not supporting those cabin crew who choose to break the strike... yet Cameron then refused to take sides himself. Politicians, eh?
