Viewable on the BBC News Channel and Parliament Channel and on the BBC i-player, The Record Europe is proving to be a particularly bias-prone corner of the Beeb's current affairs output. (See http://beebbiascraig.blogspot.com/search/label/Shirin%20Wheeler). Its host is Shirin Wheeler (daughter of Charles Wheeler).

Here are her figures for October, and (unlike her own figure) they are not a pleasant sight:
*
11/10 Timothy Kirkhope Conservative 1.5
11/10 Nigel Farage UKIP 0.9
04/10 Syed Kamall Conservative 0.3
25/10 Timothy Kirkhope Conservative 0.2
04/10 Graham Watson Lib Dem 0
11/10 Fiona Hall Lib Dem 0
11/10 Richard Howitt Labour 0
25/10 Stephen Hughes Labour 0
04/10 Arlene McCarthy Labour 0
25/10 Chris Davies Lib Dem 0
18/10 Caroline Lucas Green 0
*
Only guests from centre-right parties received any interruptions at all. So these are Shirin's averages for October:
*
UKIP - 0.9
Conservatives - 0.67
Lib Dems - 0
Labour - 0
Greens - 0
*
Having only just begun to cover the programme when the Euro parliament's new term began, I have only one other interview from the relevant period: a whopping 1.9 scored against (guess who?) Timothy Kirkhope. Her super-averages remain as above except for the Conservative average, which leaps up to 0.98.
