I think it is the ‘there has to be balance no matter what’ bit that sent Eddie Mair from the Beeb to LBC. I suspect similar for Marr, as some of the ‘balance’ can be a very minority viewpoint - sometimes more generally considered and accepted to be unsubstantiated tripe - but on the Beeb it has to be heard with equal weight given.That is the name of the game for all BBC employees though, rightly so imo. If you want to be politically outspoken then don't expect to be paid out of the public purse.
