Quite funny that the Comments section underneath is showing only one comment, which reads "The whole of the BBC should receive bias training".

What about Gary Linekar? He has opinions on lots of issues. Will he be given this training too?

The BBC has all kinds of implicit and overt biases. It is strange only Woman's Hour gets.this treatment

Have Andrew Neil or John Humphries had such a warning or is it just the women?

It does seem a bit much (huge understatement) to single them out.

Be great if the entire media was given 'impartiality training' with respect to female versus male perspectives. Maybe the Freedom Programme could put something together

It's in relation to the Brett Kavanaugh coverage but seems to be part of a trend of editorial interference and imposition of right think.
