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.
Read the bold text and tell me with a straight face that is neutral language.
Also the BBC calls Hamas terrorists in plenty of articles.
Then it will be very straightforward for you to find one. Not “the UK government has designated as terrorists”, but them actually calling Hamas terrorists.
I’m not saying you’re wrong, but I couldn’t find one example in my cursory search. It’s your claim, back it up or piss off.
Maybe you’re mistaking me for someone else? I never said I thought the BBC is neutral. Me asking for a source for your unlikely claim doesn’t mean I’m attacking everything you said. Stick to the point.
Scroll down instead of pretending that this hasn’t been debunked in this thread.
I get a notification on my app, I reply. Funnily enough I’m not actually keeping up-to-date with what you have to say elsewhere.
The trouble is, I agree with you about the BBC and neutrality.
But spouting bullshit you refuse to back up (seriously, just one link to an article where the BBC call Hamas terrorists, that’s all I’m asking) lowers the quality of the debate for everyone, and makes the rest of your argument look weak.
