We begin with inquiries from Conservative lawmaker the committee chair, that chairs the group.
She initiates by offering context to the unauthorized memo prepared by Michael Prescott and printed in a daily publication.
"I don't want the British Broadcasting Corporation tilting in any particular direction, I just want it straight, fair and just," he declares.
When asked if he believes the British Broadcasting Corporation is institutionally biased, he answers: "Absolutely not. Let's be clear, numerous aspects the BBC produces is top-tier - both documentary and non-factual shows."
Nevertheless, he states: "There is significant effort that must be undertaken at the British Broadcasting Corporation."
