The BBC is viewed by many right-wingers as the broadcasting arm of the Guardianistas.  The Beeboids argue that this is unfair, and that the BBC is an unbiased, objective, public service broadcaster.  The BBC and the Guardian jointly sponsored an ICM survey into public opinion about the Iraq war.  Guido can’t recall a time when the BBC has got into bed with a newspaper like this – imagine the uproar if the BBC had co-sponsored a poll about immigration with the Daily Mail.    Birds of a feather flock together?
