David Cameron has an interesting article in the Sun today where the BBC is described as "Bloated" and "out of touch with the viewers". He is also surely correct to echo Andrew Marr's point about the BBC having "innate liberal bias" . However, now is not the time for the Conservatives to take on the BBC - at least not as an all-out assault - since (as the Osborne/Mandleson affair demonstrated all too clearly) the BBC has the power to cause direct damage to the Conservatives whilst not attacking Labour in the same way.
Be patient and wait until you are in power is my view .. then perform the root and branch reform that the BBC needs so drastically.

I am afraid you advise has no groundings in "real politik" and based on your advice we would now be a German colony.
In the run-in to a future election the bbc could be a major factor in either defeating the Tories, or at least diminishing their majority.
This is the right time to put the pressure on the bbc as the public is now (after Sunday media revelations)fully aware of the bbc's double standards, mismanagement, and of it being a bloated privileged organization paid by ourselves.
