Why is the BBC so scared of the right wing media?

from Rock & Roll Politics with Steve Richards

Tim Davie, Deborah Turness and other senior BBC managers have gone out of their way to please the right, from the treatment of Gary Linker to the selection of political panels where there is often an imbalance that favours the right. Ironically and predictably the right wing newspapers have shown yet again their bullying muscularity by triggering the removal of Turness and Davie. Why has the BBC lost its way and is there any route that leads to the BBC's survival? Rock & Roll Politics -The Xmas Special is live at Kings Place on Dec 8th, days after the budget.
