This week, BBC News covered a story where Iain Duncan Smith - former work and pensions secretary - warned that the government risks dividing society.

Duncan Smith, who resigned on Friday 18th March 2016 citing his alarm and distaste at the new £4.4 billion cuts to disability benefits, told the BBC's The Andrew Marr Show that the government had to stop "bearing down" on working age benefit claimants to cut the deficit, branding the Chancellor's budget, which included tax breaks for higher earners, "deeply unfair".

The BBC is widely considered a politically unbiased source which could explain why they are willing to publish a story that may not be in the government's best interest. However, because of BBC's supposed unbiased stance, there is little evidence of opinion within the article, relying heavily on facts and quotes. They also note their unbiased approach with phrases such as "his version", which remind the reader that it is not the absolute fact of the matter but rather someone's point of view.

"He criticised the "arbitrary" decision to lower the welfare cap after the general election and suggested the government was in danger of losing "the balance of the generations", expressing his "deep concern" at a "very narrow attack on working-age benefits" while also protecting pensioner benefits."

Within the article, the BBC also offered information on the wider context of the story and explained the events leading to Iain Duncan Smith's resignation and his opinions on the budget cuts that are currently being carried out.

The Independent, however, also wrote an article on the story. As a traditionally left-wing paper, the headline alone focuses more on the criminalisation of the Government (the right wing Conservative party) by using more extreme, sensationalist language:

"Iain Duncan Smith accuses Cameron and Osborne of 'dividing' Britain in furious attack following resignation"
