DB at Biased BBC has highlighted a tweet from BBC World Service journalist Steph Hegarty on the Texas terror attack which probably reflects a common view at the BBC:
I suppose this was the intended consequence of a stunt like this.. #Texas http://t.co/JvUheQpYbt

Looking further into her Twitter output, Steph (who proudly displays her BBC credentials and uses Twitter as part of her reporting - see her coverage of the Nigerian elections) seems to hold quite a few of the expected views.
(Very few BBC reporters have ever been found by DB (or anyone else) who don't hold the expected views.)

Extremists want to turn Islam into a religion of fear. Only way to stand up to them is to refuse to fear it #jesuischarlie #antipegida

Sue: Since the hyperlink facility is impossible to use in the comments field, I thought I'd better add the YouTube video of the meeting that the BBC sees as Controversial and provocative.
