Pigeon Shredder. Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 So Naga makes what the BBC call a comment on the early morning program that she co hosts and is hauled over the coals for it, by saying she is not allowed to broadcast personal opinions on the BBC. Double standards yet again from the beeb when that let Pac-Man spout his normal carp with totally immunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packham (and Munchetty) is a broadcaster on the BBC, there are impartiality rules to be followed. These rules should apply regardless of your precise contractual relationship (employee, contractor, cash-in-hand), which particular part of the organisation you work for, or indeed your race, gender or whatever other group the box-tickers would have you pigeon-holed into.

Yellow Bear Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 So basically the BBC is ignoring it's own guidelines on a daily basis - which we all knew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
