The BBC bought more copies of the Guardian than any other newspaper last year, a Freedom of Information request has revealed. 

The Commentator report:

Last year, The Commentator revealed that the BBC bought more copies of The Guardian than any other UK newspaper, despite the paper’s unpopularity with the British public.
