The @BBC has published a consultation on new editorial guidelines. The BBC’s problem is not so much deficient guidelines as it is a failure to adhere to them. From its failure to accurately and impartially describe proscribed antisemitic Islamist organisations as terrorists, while at the same time using the term for other terror groups, to misreporting on the Middle East and refusing to apologise when caught out, the BBC has been failing its current affairs consumers for a long time. The answer is a change in culture, not a change in a few commas. We are carefully examining the proposed amendments to the guidelines and will make our views clear to the BBC. https://t.co/RMMRknJ8hs
