I think it's time to work out another super(duper)-average - i.e. the average I.C. for each political party since I began recording interruption coefficients last June.
*
So far 2194 interviews have been monitored.

The bias against right-of-centre parties (and nationalists) remains clear and unequivocal:
UKIP (30) - 1.01
Conservatives (619) - 0.85
English Democrats (1) - 0.80
SNP (70) - 0.76
Sinn Fein (9) - 0.71
BNP (4) - 0.65
Plaid Cymru (11) - 0.65
DUP (10) - 0.62
Labour (1054) - 0.59
Liberal Democrats (333) - 0.44
Greens (16) - 0.26
TUV (2) 0.25
SDLP (3) - 0.20
UUP (2) - 0.15
Alliance (6) - 0.03
Respect (1) - 0

So, a UKIP spokesman is four times more likely to be interrupted by a BBC interviewer than a Green. A Conservative is twice as likely to be interrupted by a BBC interviewer than a Lib Dem. Labour - the government of the country! - is questioned less toughly than Plaid Cymru.
Devastating and irrefutable evidence. The BBC have to answer. If your figures are wrong they should explain why.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately the BBC will not accept the figures; they are unbiased because they say they are. Anyway they only have to keep it up for a maximum of three months and their job will be done.
