However I just caught the end of The Media Show on R4 and the female presenter was discussing the latest Trust ruling with a BBC executive. As I understood it, the Trust has partially upheld the compliant. The BBC executive replied effectively "well we disagree with the Trust and anyway Laura is the unchallengable Goddess of Political Reporting. We will not be taking any action". And that was "all there was time for".<br /><br />What happens next? The BBC can just ignore the Trust finding? If so what's the point?Ozfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351381043702605990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-82887962515336307102017-01-08T09:34:18.087+00:002017-01-08T09:34:18.087+00:00Laura seems to be able to draw hostile reaction fr...Laura seems to be able to draw hostile reaction from all sides.

If so, why? To give the BBC the chance to haggle/dilute the ruling? The Trust should just publish & if the Beeb's not happy, tough! <br />Sisyphushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02650372666915304667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-27112987853541121752017-01-07T16:57:26.197+00:002017-01-07T16:57:26.197+00:00If it really was a typical dishonest framing of wh...If it really was a typical dishonest framing of what Corbyn said, the complaint should certainly be upheld. It really should lead to editorial reform at the BBC. Unfortunately, that will never happen, and this incident will be used only as Exhibit A for the BBC's 'Complaints From Both Sides' defense.David Preiser (USA)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00055001852090086556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-56590047377355564732017-01-07T15:45:36.819+00:002017-01-07T15:45:36.819+00:00No intention to deceive or distort - so just sheer...No intention to deceive or distort - so just sheer sub cub reporter level incompetence!
