Nick, I agree you do sometimes have other voices. Though not many, to my ears. I tweeted after hearing half an hour devoted the wars within one tribe and no discernible other views. 1/6
My question was a bigger one about how the BBC conceives of impartiality in such difficult circumstances 2/6
Imagine this were Suez. A government pursuing a course of action later almost universally agreed to be profoundly wrong. How should the BBC behave? 3/6
Panorama’s then producer said the BBC showed “ a degree of neutrality which denied the proper function of journalism”. 4/6
Two years into Brexit no-one can yet even begin to agree that there is a workable way of achieving it without causing immense damage. What is the “proper function of journalism” in this situation? 5/6
I appreciate this is a very difficult dilemma for the BBC. Hope it’s not another Suez in every way. Worth reading this on how the BBC behaved in 1956: academic.oup.com/tcbh/article/6… Not a v happy story 6/6
