COMFORT ZONE INHABITED
No surprises here:
The BBC has failed to promote proper debate on major political issues because of the inherent liberal culture of its staff, a report commissioned by the corporation has concluded.
The report concludes BBC staff must be more willing to challenge their own beliefs ...
It reads: “There is a tendency to ‘group think’ with too many staff inhabiting a shared space and comfort zone."
A staff impartiality seminar held last year is also documented in the report, at which executives admitted they would broadcast images of the Bible being thrown away but not the Koran, in case Muslims were offended.
There’s a lot of this “fear of offence” getting around at the moment.
