Impartial BBC

Good:

It is understood Lineker was told by a senior FA official that there
was serious concern inside Soho Square that the BBC’s reporting of the
England team was "not as positive as it should be".

When asked whether the BBC had overstepped the mark
with their coverage of the England team, a spokesman said: "We strongly
refute the claim that we are in any way leading a campaign against the
England team.

"We have great pride in the England
team but we have a responsibility to be objective and call events as we
see them, knowing that our audience is very knowledgeable about
football."

Now, if we can just get that impartiality to spread to the politics and economics side.
