Adel Darwish: A BBC senior staff has just said “the murder of Qassem Soleimani” before quickly saying “killing of” live on @BBCr4today .. hopefully .. hopefully it doesn’t reflect Auntie’s groupthink on the issue!!
That was Frank Gardner (around 8.14 am) after seeming to bend over backwards to put Iran's possible shooting down of a Ukrainian airline in the most favourable (to Iran) context possible.
I would say that it’s pretty obvious from the tone of the reporting that is what they think when talking amongst themselves in the BBC canteen.
