If you think about it, a person's own views about 'issue's affects where they see any particular source of news standing in the political spectrum. If you're heavily invested in right of centre attitudes then it's likely you'll be offended at anything that tends towards criticism of right wing issues and approval of left wing points. That's only natural.

However for someone who is left leaning the same applies but the opposite way round and the BBC has to play it down the middle, which will mean upsetting some on both sides of the political fence, often at the same time.

And it would be absolutely wrong, in their allotted mission to inform the public, if they didn't investigate and inform when they see things that are going wrong. Like any news organisation they're not really interested in good news, things going right isn't news, it's what's expected. Things going wrong is news. I mean 'No earthquake in Watford today' isn't going to hold an audience, whereas maybe trying to send a 93 year old housebound lady 40 miles for a covid jab with the risks of infection might well be.
