The BBC striving for diversity in hiring != Th BBC pushing a “social justice agenda” in its content.
If you can’t see the distinction, I doubt you will find any journalism stooping to your level.
- growlist 8y agoIf you seriously deny there is an agenda you are wilfully blind. Just go to the news page for a few days/weeks.. it's glaringly obvious.
- creaghpatr 8y agoSurely you aren’t that dense?
- Lio 8y agoActually it's more than just hiring practices and directly covers content. One example would that the BBC now has to have a 50-50 gender split for experts brought onto its flagship Radio 4 Today programme. That was decided to presumably to broaden opinions given to be more inclusive. Another example would be this speach by Ms White where she clearly states: "So today we have announced that the BBC will have to agree with Ofcom a new Diversity Code of Practice. This will set out how the BBC will commission programmes that authentically portray the whole UK population." [1] As to "stooping to my level", I've so far not said anything about whether this process is good or bad or if the ends justify the means. Just that it is going on and you can read about the details if you wish.
