A BBC
A capa da edição desta semana da revista britânica «Spectator» é dedicada à crise na BBC. Para localizar o ponto da situação aqui vai um excerto: BBC bias is immensely subtle, almost never intentional and for the most part entirely unconscious. In its guidelines for producers, the BBC officially suggests that it is demeaning to call a woman a housewife, an opinion freighted with implications. But if you put this to BBC executives they are either unaware of it or they do not understand what the problem is. Most BBC people, challenged on the issue of impartiality, are not being dishonest when they reply that they themselves are impartial. A shining few actively strive to be so. Most are simply ignorant of the legitimate, defensible and respectable points of view outside the narrow consensus within which they move. At the Edinburgh Television Festival, a group of prominent news presenters, including the BBC’s Fiona Bruce, took part in a supposedly satirical version of what they imagined a right-wing television news bulletin would be like. The film, made up of crude, blatant editorialising, merely proved that those involved were clueless about conservative views or the nature of television bias. O artigo de Peter Hitchens defende uma profunda reforma da BBC.
