The BBC: What's wrong, and how it might be fixed

When top BBC journalist and Christian Robin Aitken put together a dossier of what he felt were glaring examples of biased broadcasts, and sent it to the then Director General and Board of the BBC in 2007, he knew his career was on the line. What he had not expected – as a BBC executive and flagship Today Programme reporter - was to be ignored completely.

Instead of addressing the message, they pensioned him off.

Robin was just 50. He took the pension and wrote a string of books alleging BBC bias, the most successful being The Noble Liar.
