The BBC chairman yesterday indicated “the BBC does have a liberal bias” but added “the institution is fighting against it.”
Richard Sharp, in an interview in the Sunday Times, said he and Tim Davie, the director-general, had drawn up a ten-point plan on impartiality, anti-bias training along with reviews of news output in a drive to tackle the issue.
He indicated the decision to transfer departments into the regions, including the north of England, Scotland and Wales, by Davie will help the BBC become less London-centric, “which can create groupthink”.
