| Description | 'That this House notes with concern the bias of a number of television programmes, such as BBC 2's The Summer of the Bomb and Channel 4's Oh Superman, in which the playwright Harold Pinter violently attacked United States' foreign policy and the Prime Minister's support for it; further notes that research has shown certain current affairs programmes, in particular Granada Television's World in Action, to be consistently one-sided; and calls on the Government to support the principles of the amendments to the Broadcasting Bill recently debated in the Upper House which would ensure that television and radio programmes and series would present an impartial, unbiased view of political and insustrial issues, past and present.' |
