Choose your battleground carefully

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.
