Sins of omission


The whole Jeremy Corbyn/antisemitic Facebook group story may be igniting large parts of my social media timeline - as it's done for days - but the BBC's timeline is remaining stubbornly indifferent to it. 

Sky (among many others), for instance, reported yesterday that former chief rabbi Lord Sacks - a high-profile public figure - said he wouldn't sit down with Jeremy Corbyn until Labour took "resolute action" to tackle antisemitism in the party. 

Now that, to me at least, is newsworthy and I'd expect the BBC to report it. But, as far as I can see, the BBC hasn't reported it.
