Global warming coverage
Dear Sir or Madam,
Could you please clarify the News department policy on coverage of the Climate change/global warming debate? I have heard reports that the BBC has decided not to broadcast any news or reports which disprove, disagree, or cast doubt on global warming theory. If this is true, could you please provide some form of justification for this partisan approach to such a contentious and uncertain issue.
Yours faithfully,
Ian Dawson

Unfortunately, most mainstream media is owned by the same corporate and banking figures that own the government.
These puppets however, will not be given any preferential treatment and are being conditioned, lied to and poisoned just like the rest of us.

What an outstandingly arrogant stance for the BBC to take on the matter. Bias alive and well and living in the BBC's newsrooms and we're paying for it!
