Attracting the Lefties

From Mr A. Clive Elliot Sir: `Remote Control' (21 August) demon- strates beyond doubt that the BBC is domi- nated by the Left, a training ground for Labour spin doctors, but offers no explana- tion as to why this should be.

May I offer one? BBC recruitment advertisements have always appeared in large numbers in the Guardian but never in the Daily Telegraph, and certainly not in our beloved Speccie.

As an experiment, let Mr Dyke try a dif- ferent advertising medium, if only to demonstrate his impartiality.
