This looks to me like laziness more than a biased agenda, as the main issue is them not providing suitable evidence rather than actually focusing on one side of the debate.

Looks like nothing more than a small and insignificant oversight unlike the biased Fox network.
One really good thing about BBC was when they posed questions to Bush during his war on Iraq. They posed questions that the biased right wing American media refused to pose. Too bad Tony Benn wasn't allowed in the White House to pose questions or Bush would have been torn to pieces on that podium.

Not providing facts or evidence to back up your arguments is not small nor insignificant, it undermines your entire argument. Thankfully we hold the BBC to higher standards than that.
Who cares? Was anyone talking about Fox?

What I find troubling is that after an article appeared in the Mail over bias in the BBC, there were comments calling for the BBC to be scrapped. There seems to be so much right wing propaganda at the moment.

I think a lot of people have some very legitimate gripes about the BBC. The licence fee, the way in which the whole sordid Savile affair was handled, perceived ageism etc...
I'm a huge fan of Radio4, but there are times when, particularly on some of the other BBC radio stations, their impartial, unbiased and constant sitting on the fence seems almost frustrating. I like to hear what the presenters actually think about specific issues. James O'brien (LBC) is a classic example of a presenter who is open about his political ideology and that, in my opinion, makes the show/format more appealing. You can do both without appearing overly bias or partisan.
At least with FOX we clearly can see just how odious they are. Both their reporting and their personalities leave nothing to the imagination. I appreciate that transparency (although perhaps in not such large doses, and preferably not so rancid). The BBC shouldn't shy away from being more opinionated.

I like the Christian Englishman they are like a breath of fresh air compared to the US Christians.
What's wrong with Fox anyway?. No democrats there who are blind as a bat. My husband was from England.

The BBC may well be biased (as long as any media outlet is under the control of man, I suspect it will always be biased, or better, influenced in one way or another). They may also be misinformed / mislead at times ( language can often be at the crux of this, I've been witness to many lost-in-translation examples at times, not specifically referring to the BBC here). I did however witness one clear example of the BBC that was seriously misleading, well, false to be exact. We should always reference and dig deeper than one source if we would want to claim that we are well informed.
