BBC announces new impartiality rules for social media – Society of Editors

Society of Editors. Protecting the freedom of the news media

Breach of the social media guidance may lead to disciplinary action and even termination “in serious circumstances”, the BBC said.
 
Those impartiality rules will be used as a template to lay over every right leaning tweet coming from anybody associated with the BBC. Linekers lawyers will have the easiest of jobs to find loads of examples of when a blind eye was turned.
I've been watching the progress of Dominion Vs Fox News in the USA and I must admit, I never thought we'd see the likes here. I was wrong.
What seems to be common amongst the right is that they are quite dumb. Like a 5 year old Machiavelli who hasn't developed the emotional intelligence to carry out their evil plans.
Actually, Scooby Doo villain is probably a better metric for their machinations.
 
A lot of the points from Lineker, Shearer and Wright have been taken aboard by the Football authorities regarding VAR decisions etc. They are well regarded in football matters. MOTD is not the same without them.

I really think (and hope) that this is going to backfire spectacularly on the Tories, because alsorts of people in the public eye are now going to shine a light on exactly what the Tories have been up to at the BBC, and they’ll be highlighting it to many people who are probably completely unaware of just how deeply the Tories have managed to dig their grubby little hands into the running of our national broadcaster.

Putting something on iplayer is not “censorship.” Choosing not to put something in a prime time BBC1 slot isn’t either.

You really are clutching at straws, any natural history programme the BBC produces with David Attenborough is easily sold to the four corners of the globe and will be prime time in the UK without any shadow of a doubt.
So why is episode 6 only going to be shown on iPlayer? Do you think it’s because the Blue t*ts are too promiscuous or the Stags c*cks are too big?
