Thatcher death coverage prompts competing accusations of BBC bias
More people have complained that the BBC's coverage of Baroness Thatcher's death was biased in favour of the former prime minister than against her, the corporation has revealed.
The corporation has come under fire from critics such as former Tory MP Louise Mensch who accused the BBC of putting a "spin" on Thatcher's "divisive" legacy.
The Daily Mail – no stranger to criticising the BBC – also highlighted viewer and listener complaints about the corporation, saying the BBC had been accused of "disgraceful" bias.
However, the BBC said on Wednesday it had received 268 complaints that its coverage was biased in favour of Thatcher, and 227 who said it was biased against her.

A funny tweet: "If you're sad about Thatcher's death then you probably look like Ben Mitchell from Eastenders."
