Up to a point.  When a quote from an adherent hosted on a blog site is
given equal weight with a documentary by the BBC; and when commentary
is included to the effect that the BBC's documentary is biased because
the Church of England is content to see the competition knocked; then
I suspect that the definition of NPOV is being stretched.
