The bulk of the issues mentioned in the article seem to fall into the "Why doesn't the BBC give equal time to both objective reality and my bullshit right-wing talking points?" category.

While I agree that the BBC did some shit that a news organization shouldn't have done, disproportionate coverage does not by itself imply bias - thinking otherwise is classic both-sides-ism.

So basically: you're equally biased and that means the BBC bias is fine.
