What is Bias?

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Is there bias in broadcasting? Is there a liberal or an Establishment conspiracy? Is there merely a consensus view of politics and culture to which most broadcasters subscribe? Or are allegations of bias just examples of selective perception? Is it ' all in the mind '?
These are some of the questions tonight's programme attempts to answer with the help of: RT HON WILLIAM DEEDES , MP, Conservative Minister in charge of Government Information Services 1962-64
GERALD KAUFMAN , MP, Parliamentary Press Liaison Officer Labour Party 1965-70
JOHN BEAVAN , columnist Daily Mirror group
JOHN CRAWLEY , member BBC Board of Management, in charge of news and current affairs 1967-71
Chairman ANTHONY KING , Professor of Government, Essex University
Produced by BERNARD TATE
