THE BBC has told its reporters not to use the word “kidnapped” when describing the US government’s allegedly illegal abduction of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.
The directive was revealed by The National contributor Owen Jones, who said it had been passed to him by a member of BBC staff.
With emphasis on supposed to be. I think they got enough heat with that Trump documentary they rather play it safe. If there was no need to stress employees have to use the right words while doing their job like they usually do, there wouldn’t have been an email asking them to.
