Listening to this morning's Sunday on Radio 4, Jane noticed something I also noticed:
Now, to be strictly accurate, the programme's interviewee, Amanda Spielman (Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Schools) did mention the M-word midway through the interview. It was presenter William Crawley who went out of his way to find ways not to mention it.
The BBC, and staff, have turned the editorial integrity of omission into an art form.
ReplyDeleteOFFICIAL BBC EDITORIAL GUIDELINES:
ReplyDeleteDon't mention the M word, I word, K word, Sh word or the other M word (unless you put the P word before it).
The first version of this post read "Now, to the strictly accurate"...which is a nice example of that internet law that says that anyone claiming to be strictly accurate about something will then make a mistake whilst so claiming.
ReplyDeleteLol - you could never work for the BBC...you're far too honest to be one of their stealth editors! :)
DeleteThe BBC celebrates the propaganda of the Chinese Communist regime. Not even a smidgeon of moral condemnation:

This is a regime, lest we forget, that is responsible directly for the deaths of something like 80 million people, according to experts.

Expect more of this after May delivers us into the hands of a Far Left Corbyn regime.
