State media protects the state no matter how independent they claim to be

The BBC isn't state media.

Parliament controls their funding, they're not directly controlled but when the government controls the purse you're never truly independent.

What about this do you feel suggests the BBC has a view on the situation?

A more neutral view would posit that daily life is already disrupted, thus forcing a protest. Repeating the PM's statement is a useless assessment when the PM is useless.

Reporting what the government says about something is "pro" them? Lol.

You missed the union leaders' quotes in the article? Or did you just not bother reading it?

Both the title and the tone of the article present an anti-union bias, even if that tone is subtle.

Yes - the quote comes from the government. Reporting what they've said isn't exactly anti union, is it? Lol.

Edit: downvote away, chaps, what a weird take on impartial reporting
