Paul Mason, former BBC Newsnight and Channel 4 economics editor discusses economic coverage and impartiality

As part of its impartiality plan, this week the BBC published its report looking at the broadcaster's coverage of taxation, public spending, governmentborrowing and debt. The authors found no evidence of bias towards one particular political position, but there were things "that put impartiality at risk".
