The BBC and cash for seats

I have been giving some thought to the BBC's reluctance to report the cash-for-seats scandal (and that is what this is: not "cash for honours", but cash for seats in Parliament). Like most of the media, the BBC has long been convinced that politics is "boring", and so has instead filled up all available space with football or (other) celebrity tittle-tattle. Therefore, now that this turns out to be anything but the case, poor old Auntie honestly doesn't know what to say.
