The BBC is facing critisicm after it edited an article on a convicted paedophile to remove references to his role as a drag queen.
The BBC is facing accusations of engaging in “Orwellian manipulation” of the news after it edited an article on a convicted paedophile to remove references to his role in organising a Pride event and that he also performed as a drag queen.
This explanation did not suffice for many on social media, however, with political commentator Chris Rose: “A state broadcaster shouldn’t be selective with facts when they wouldn’t hide details for other groups. I’m sure BBC Verify & Marianna Spring are investigating.” Comedian and GB News presenter Leo Kearse added: “This isn’t objective journalism – this is Orwellian manipulation of the news to remove facts that don’t align with the establishment narrative.”
Look how the BBC edited an article to remove the fact that this paedophile was a drag queen and a Pride organiser. This isn't objective journalism – this is Orwellian manipulation of the news to remove facts that don't align with the establishment narrative.
