This week, David Dimbleby set the cat among the pigeons when he used an interview with the Radio Times to complain of right-wing media bias against Jeremy Corbyn:
‘I don’t think anyone could say that Corbyn has had a fair deal at the hands of the press, in a way that the Labour party did when it was more to the centre, but then we generally have a rightwing press.’
But has Dimbleby’s employer taken his comments a bit too literally? Mr S only asks after last night’s BBC Election Debate appeared to have such a left-wing audience that even left-wing pundits took to social media to query whether it really had the required level of BBC balance:

While the BBC insist the audience was picked by ComRes to be representative of the country demographically and politically, Mr S wonders whether Dimbleby will now have anything to say on the problems of left-wing bias?
