I don't think there is anything wrong with the national media service being 'pro the nation' (counting the UK as the nation for arguments sake).

That said however they can't make things up, or overtly bury critical stories...but putting a softer slant on them wouldn't be unreasonable.

It is a loyal state broadcaster. If it had been up to the BBC, then the Prince Andrew story would have been buried. They tried to bury it several times but the Americans don't take orders from Buckingham Palace.

Their coverage of the Scottish independence referendum was laughably biased and often clueless.

They do seem to have an odd attitude towards Nigel Farage (UKIP & Reform) though, and kept putting him on Questiontime and the radio. It seems unclear why they would promote him so much given much of their other content.
