REPORTS that the BBC plans a purge of “left-wing” satire shows are worthy of satire themselves, film director Ken Loach said today.
The Daily Telegraph reports that the new BBC director-general Tim Davie has plans to purge the corporation of alleged left-wing bias, especially in comedy shows.
Mr Davie, a former deputy chair of Hammersmith & Fulham Conservative Party and councillor, is said to be keen to redress what he sees as bias against the Tories, Donald Trump and Brexit as part of plans to restore “trust and confidence” in the BBC.
