For many years the news and current affairs coverage of the BBC has been coloured by the left of centre views of the majority of its staff. People who share these views were not bothered by the BBC's failure to observe its duty of impartiality and disingenuously dismissed complaints about bias as undermining the independence of the BBC. Now that the extent of the bias has been exposed by an internal report, those same people are trying to deflect attention away from the failings of the BBC by impugning the motives of its critics. This is particulaly true of Tim Davie, the outgoing Director General, who, while acknowledging that the BBC 'has made some mistakes', accused 'enemies' of the BBC of 'weaponising' the criticisms outlined in Michael Prescott's report. The interests of the viewing public would be better served if the BBC addressed the criticisms instead of attacking the critics.
