I understand your angst against the superior smugness of the BBC, I have experience of it myself working with them at Wimbledon, I share your contempt for their senior managerial attitude.
However, If I want some semblance of balanced reporting about anything, I'll far sooner trust the BBC than any other news organisation, they have been caught out far less than any other in every form of media across every genre of news or information.
At the end of the day, Every political party in the UK complains the BBC is biased against them. That to me is a comfort.
