News bias could cost BBC $5.8
billion
Network also has 'culture' of
waste, secrecy
(TELEGRAPH) — The BBC could lose its exclusive right to
the licence fee if it does not tackle a “culture” of secrecy, waste and
unbalanced reporting, a senior Cabinet minister warns.
Grant Shapps, the chairman of the
Conservative Party, challenged the corporation to undertake dramatic changes in
the wake of a series of scandals and accusations of bias.
In a major intervention understood
to have been made with the knowledge of Downing Street,
he said that the Government would consider whether the BBC can keep receiving
all the proceeds of the licence fee – £145.50 each year from every household
with a television – after 2016, when its Royal Charter expires.
The threat comes amid mounting
concern inside the Government, and particularly the Conservatives, over bias in
the BBC’s news programmes.
