Director general Tony Hall’s comments follow threat from
Boris Johnson to axe licence fee
Tony Hall, the director-general of the
BBC, has defended the corporation’s
election output against accusations of bias, saying that the national broadcaster had faced criticisms of its output from both leftwing and rightwing commentators in the weeks leading up to voting day.
However, Lord Hall has spoken out in praise of the BBC’s polling coverage, claiming the fact that it received complaints from all sides demonstrated it was unbiased.
