What an astonishing suggestion..that hiring more conservative reporters and firing some left wing ones would be better than trying to get leftys to try to "think" outside the box!

Sure. BBC news staff are predominatly leftys, approx 90%. Whats wrong with making it 50/50. Atleast that way you get some kind of balance.

Sending leftwingers for re-education, who are apparently cynical about impartiality in the first place, seems a bigger wasted of time.

Reminds me of PBS in the 60's and 70's. When complaints of liberal bias became to much to ignore, PBS took on their token conservative ( Bill Buckley) and once a year ,around funding time, would grudgingly do a few favorable shows about Black conservatives or a profile of Barry Goldwater.

Rest of the time it was Frontline, P.O.V. and the usual very liberal news programing.
