@shojiwax The BBC is failing its duty of impartiality by instructing journalists not to describe the capture of Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro as a kidnapping, instead sanitising the event with terms like “captured” or “seized”. This is not neutrality, but an act of client journalism that cleans up language to frame events in ways acceptable to power rather than describing them plainly. By suppressing this specific word, the BBC is curating reality and engaging in political bias, not avoiding it.

BBC drops Gaza medics documentary over impartiality concerns

@calmeilles if anyone needed proof that the #Murdoch Times is leveraging #media ownership to sow institutional distrust, it headlined "BBC CLAIMS journalists and crew ‘tied up and held at gunpoint by #IDF’" complete with inverted commas following the word "claims". You can see the hand of the editor in chief everywhere incl. the pasting of the outlandish claims from WhiteHouse press Sec.about #BBC #impartiality which serves no other purpose than to undermine the report.

The Case for Principled Impartiality in a Hyper-Partisan World

For our communities to get back on track and improve their ability to address their shared problems, institutions committed to defending democracy and helping us distinguish between strong and weak arguments must be developed or reinvigorated.
