The problem with a news or media outlet doing an "expose" on off-shoring is that, since all left-pondian media is commercial, they'd be cutting their own throats. The only tax avoidance techniques that would get shown are the ones that have already been closed off; if an avoidance technique can be applied by the working class, it will get shut down, and then the media companies won't be able to use 'em.

As the BBC is publicly funded, and presumably tax-exempt, they have nothing to lose showing off these shenanigans. Unfortunately, Auntie Beeb is British, and probably not too familiar with USA Tax law.
