It is an unquestionable article of faith to the British Right that the BBC is left-wing, even though it simply isn't.
The best that Hitchens can manage may be summarised as, "They are not as right-wing as I am, so

Most people think that
the BBC is biased to the Right. And they are right. It is.
It has every Loony
Right think tank boy on morning, noon and night. It treats fanatical hatred of
the NHS as a mainstream opinion.
UKIP is entirely a
creation of the BBC, and exists only because of the Corporation's lavish
coverage of it while subjecting it to no scrutiny whatever.
And so on.
