First and foremost, it's a bastion of political correctness. It has
acknowledged it's culturally liberal bias. There is also a show in the UK called
Room 101, wherein guests choose what they hate most to essentially be eliminated from existence. During a hypothetical discussion involving BBC executives, it was theorised that Sacha Baron Cohen would choose kosher food, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bible and the Qur'an. . . All but the Qur'an were deemed acceptable things to banish to Room 101.
A BBC journalist has taken flak for claiming that she
cried when Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat was rushed to hospital in 2004, and the BBC has managed to upset Hindu and Sikh communities by making a
disproportionate amount of material about Islam in relation to other Asian religions. On top of this, it's coverage of the
Arab Spring was also "over-excited".
It has also shown to be somewhat inept in issues dealing with terrorism. It refused to call the terrorists in the
2008 Mumbai Attacks "terrorists", instead opting for "gunmen". They also did exactly the same thing with the Charlie Hebdo shootings this year.
And in 2011, it finally admitted that it's award-winning 2008 documentary exposing Primarck's use of child labour in India was
fake.
