Woman's Hour team are given impartiality training after 'showing bias against US Supreme Court judge Brett Kavanaugh when he was accused of sex assault'


That's a headline from The Daily Mail. And this is the BBC ruling it refers to:


The presenter in question was Jane Garvey, who - during the programme - made comments like this:
What is horrifying – well, I suppose if you are a feminist it's horrifying – is the way that Kavanaugh's indignation, his outrage, his frankly peculiar almost hysterical demeanour... has been interpreted by some as entirely right. Exactly how a man would react in those circumstances.
