Biased BBC coverage on assisted suicide

Published: 2nd February 2010

As a founder member of the Care Not Killing Alliance, CMF has been asked to draw your attention to accusations that the BBC has pushed the 'right-to-die' agenda by giving hours of airtime and leading news bulletins to the opinions of campaigners, and by publishing the results of opinion polls in a selective way. See Daily Mail

The BBC website gives prominence to the extreme views of celebrity fantasy fiction writerTerry Pratchett (last night's Dimbleby Lecture) and Mrs Kay Gilderdale (last night's one-sided Panorama programme) without giving similar space to opposing opinions. The views of disabled people in particular have been marginalised in a debate which affects them so personally.

Please consider an online complaint to the BBC You may also phone: 03700 100 222 or write to: BBC Complaints, PO Box 1922, Glasgow G2 3WT
