	The Observer \| Politics \| Tories go to war over 'leftie' BBC
		John Whittingdale, Tory spokesman on culture, media and sport, launched a scathing attack on the BBC last night for its decision to screen Faith, a drama about the lives of two couples during the year-long miners' strike in 1984.
		Whittingdale, who was given a preview of the programme, particularly objected to the closing scene, where it depicts some of the worst suffering endured by the miners interspersed with scenes of Thatcher's defiance.
		Whittingdale said the worst thing was that the emotive drama was due to be shown during an election period: 'This is a one-off drama at 9pm on BBC1.

	The Liberal Dissenter: The Stupid Party
		Tory spokesman John Whittingdale alleges that this play is "the latest in a long line of left-wing dramas screened by the BBC without any attempt to provide balance or the alternative view".
		Whittingdale has also again raised the ridiculous complaint about BBC jobs being advertised in the Guardian, when it is common knowledge that this is only because the Guardian's Monday media supplement has cornered the market in media job ads.
		It is easy to dismiss Whittingdale as an idiot but we should note that his technique has been borrowed from the successful strategy of the US Republicans, who repeatedly attacked America's three main TV networks' news programmes for alleged 'liberal' bias.

	The Stage Online :: News :: Whittingdale adds voice to chorus of complaints about Springer show airing
		Shadow culture secretary John Whittingdale has criticised the decision by the BBC to air an uncut version of Jerry Springer - The Opera, saying the show’s artistic merits do not outweigh the level of offence it caused.
		Whittingdale added that he did not believe the show - which contains a considerable number of expletives and which satirises Christianity - was suitable for broadcast by a publicly funded organisation and felt it would have been more acceptable on Channel 4.
		John Beyer of Mediawatch-uk said the show was not what licence fee payers expected of the BBC and that he did not understand why the Corporation had chosen this particular production if it wished to enhance coverage of the arts.

		Whittingdale urged the government to use its proposed spending on broadband for schools, hospitals and other public services to drive BT's rollout of broadband, and added that Ofcom should also have a role in promoting and publicising broadband -- as also suggested by the CWU.
