Rejected petition Subject News broadcasters to a code of conduct requiring political neutral.

The BBC and Sky are the primary news broadcasters in the UK. They show a chronic tendency to lean to the left constantly. A recent broadcast of Question time by the BBC extolling the virtues of Obama and humiliating Trump is an example. If they can't be neutral their licence should be withdrawn.
