I love how everyone seems to agree that the BBC is horribly biased but there is fierce debate as to whether it is run by the ghost of Joseph Goebbels or if the staff start each day singing The Red Flag.

Perhaps the real bias was inside us the whole time.

Yes, that would be the Centrist Dad take.

This isn't a new issue; Saturday Night Fry (the predecessor to a Bit of Fry and Laurie) was making fun of it in the 1980s. The BBC's commitment to 'balance' has always lead it in rather weird directions.
