WTAF happened to @BBC journalism?

@BBC I should give this a plug:
@BBC A LOT more:

"Many weapons are used in class war but media power is a central part of the generals’ arsenal. Highlighting systematic media bias is neither conspiratorial (despite what the @BBC argues) nor simplistic.

"Indeed, ignoring bias is precisely one of the privileges of media power (which is why it’s perhaps not surprising that the @guardian’s article on “five reasons why @UKLabour lost” didn’t even mention the media)."
"Until we address the reasons underlying this bias (inc. concentrated media ownership, Oxbridge-dominated executives & elite capture) any radical opposition will have to be prepared for sustained vilification & misrepresentation & will need an insurgent movement to face it down."
Here's my own contribution to the debate in the form of a THREAD on the undeniable anti-@UKLabour & pro-Tory #BBCBias on the run up to the general election:
