The Daily Mail can't resist aiming another volley at the BBC – this time over the corporation's royal baby coverage. "Was the BBC over the top?" it asks, dutifully reporting that viewers have accused the corporation of "sycophantic" coverage after "saturating" its airwaves since the royal announcement on Monday evening. All very well, were it not for the fact that the paper itself prints another bumper 20-page package of royal coverage, including pictures, opinion pieces, features, timelines, backgrounders, open letters and more. Monkey wonders whether a story attacking the Beeb's republican bias has already been prepared for when the corporation scales back on its royal baby stories.
