Wow, that's a new one. Is the NYTimes a Republic rag then?
1) BBC has a policy of not going hard against the sitting government, this seems to be true regardless of who's in charge.
2) BBC is a large organisation, they have parts which are more pro-tory and others which are more anti-tory, but overall the anti-tory stuff will be a bit more curbed due to point 1.
3) David Cameron stacked the board with pro-tory people, this has little effect on the actual stories since the board has no direct involvement, but this could lead to a tory bias in some cases.

An Italian civil servant is a non-story compared to the £37bn given to the UK's private sector to run a poor-to-nonexistent COVID test and trace scheme.
For comparison the entire annual budget of the NHS is £44bn. And the government refused to increase the pay of doctors and nurses who have more or less singlehandedly held the NHS together through COVID.

Among other stories. That's just the worst of an appalling raft of cash-for-cronies handouts.
But the BBC rarely publishes news about Europe at all. And when it does it's often negative.
Not only do we have a story about an Italian civil servant, but also - coincidentally - there's news about Malta's EU cash-for-passports scheme.
Which is more or less identical to the UK's cash-for-passports scheme. But less expensive.
The Tories would love to dismantle the BBC, rather than controlling it, but both parties like the grip it gives on propaganda.
Why do you suppose BBC have published this news story (front page, as of now for me) about how brilliant Dyson is but without any information on the corruption case? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-46149743
That article is the same thing that was published in Jan 2019.

Grow up. Totally pathetic conspiratorial giberish
The story is there, it's hidden in a "top 5 things about Covid today".
When something random and unimportant hits the top of BBC news in recent years that seems to mean there's a story on Tory failure/corruption being buried.
