How is mentioning the existence of ad-blockers, on a story about ads, editorializing? Meanwhile teaching you how to be a good consumer and set your ad preferences is 'neutral'?

That's quite a bit different from "mentioning the existence of", which would be reasonable IMO. In any case, the elephant in the room that's gone unmentioned so far, is that the BBC introduced Google Ads on the site a few years ago, so it's probably not a priority for them to explain to users how they can block ads.
