A presentation by Rafe Heydel-Mankoo for the New Culture Forum, laying bare the BBC's "progressive" left-wing bias.

No wonder they cannot get along with Trump.

Here we have links exposed to all the incomprehensible left-labels (Trotsky et al) of the labyrinthine network of "progressive" bodies (if communist origins can be regarded as "progressive", they are habitually labelled as such ... but then inversion of the truth has always been the favoured modus operandi).

"For production - not speculation" - that's Trump, not the "special relationship", which is the exact opposite.

BBC in Trump's Cross-Hairs

Sky News has the story.

From the BBC Charter:

"To provide impartial news and information to help people understand and engage with the world around them: the BBC should provide duly accurate and impartial news, current affairs and factual programming to build people’s understanding of all parts of the United Kingdom and of the wider world. Its content should be provided to the highest editorial standards. It should offer a range and depth of analysis and content not widely available from other United Kingdom news providers, using the highest calibre presenters and journalists, and championing freedom of expression, so that all audiences can engage fully with major local, regional, national, United Kingdom and global issues and participate in the democratic process, at all levels, as active and informed citizens"

Whatever one may think of President Trump, to edit a significant speech to his Jan 6 crowd of supporters, conveying a false impression of his intentions, whether deliberately or inadvertently, is clearly a major breach of the BBC Charter on the twin grounds of impartiality and accuracy. 

Trump being Trump, the BBC may soon be involved in a difficult high profile lawsuit, as well as impact to its reputation.

Article 56 of the Charter deals with breaches of the terms of the Charter in unexceptional style:

"56.     Compliance with Charter and Framework Agreements
(1)     The BBC must strictly and faithfully comply with this Charter and the Framework Agreement in force. This includes complying with requirements set out in other documents which have effect by virtue of provisions of this Charter or a Framework Agreement.
(2)     Where the BBC fails to comply with paragraph (1) of this article in any respect, anyone who is aggrieved and/or adversely affected may be entitled to seek an appropriate remedy. "

It seems that President Trump has the floor. 

I suspect that the BBC might be wise to settle out of court, if they can.

"Ofcom will normally consider a complaint only after the complaint has been in the first instance
resolved by the BBC"

So Ofcom are unlikely to be in the forefront of this imbroglio, but will no doubt be following events closely to ensure that the BBC takes all necessary measures to prevent similar situations arising in the future.

On an unrelated topic, the Charter is clear that the BBC is responsible for the effective collection of the TV licence fee:

"The Board must secure the effective and efficient management of the finances of the BBC by, in particular—
(a)     ...
(b)     ensuring that arrangements for the collection of the licence fee are efficient, appropriate and proportionate. "

 

Eventually, the Truth Becomes Obvious

So, heads must roll. 

Heads have been duly sentenced to roll ...   but not yet.

After all, this is the BBC. 

We must have a proper handover, otherwise the poor benighted staffers wouldn't have a clue what to do without somebody to tell them!

Really?

Isn't that exact attitude part of the problem?

What parts of "truthful" "accurate" "balanced" and "unbiased" do the staff at the BBC not understand?

To which we might add "clearly distinguish fact from opinion" and "quote sources".

I'd wager that there's more than a few who would be delighted to be allowed to get on with the job without interference from what has hitherto passed for "leadership".

It's not rocket science. Those that don't "get it" should all go, and go now. Cancel the licence fee, stop the money, clear the decks. There are others who will fill the void without need for financial subsidy, who pay their way by charging for their services. At least that way we the customers  can stop our part of their funding as we see fit, no questions asked, no hand-wringing, no pontificating, no parliamentary huffing and puffing, no long-drawn enquiry to "find out what went wrong" and "identify lessons learned".

We know what went wrong - they falsified their reporting. Deliberately. In any public service media organisation, that has to be a capital offence.

It may well also be a criminal offence, or may involve civil offence such as slander or libel.

End of.
