Labour escalates complaint over BBC's election coverage bias
LABOUR has escalated its ongoing complaint over the BBC’s “slanted and biased” coverage of the general election to the director general.
The party wrote to Tony Hall to raise “serious concerns” over the broadcaster having allowed PM Boris Johnson to “pick and choose” which platform he wants to be interviewed on.
It comes after Mr Johnson refused to be interviewed by former Spectator editor Andrew Neil, even though other leaders, including Jeremy Corbyn, have agreed to do so.
