No. It’s just that at the birth of British political parties the Whigs (liberals) were the opposition to the Tories. A liberal institution having a Tory bias would be as likely as a vegetarian society having a meat eating bias. The sentence op posted is an oxymoron.
It's pretty clear what they meant. Righties claim the BBC is a left-biased institution when the evidence is that it gives right wing opinions more airtime than left. It's just not as mad as the Daily Mail, so the readers of that esteemed periodical think the BBC for pinkos.
