THE BBC has told its reporters not to use the word “kidnapped” when describing the US government’s allegedly illegal abduction of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.
The directive was revealed by The National contributor Owen Jones, who said it had been passed to him by a member of BBC staff.
I don't think the BBC do call Hamas a terrorist organisation. They might say something like "Hamas, designated by the UK government as a terrorist organisation" which is true - the UK government does have that designation. That isn't the same thing as the BBC calling Hamas a terrorist organisation.
Also the BBC might not always get it right but I think they do aim for impartiality, and I think they do a good job most of the time. People on the far-right think the BBC is too much on the left, and people on the far-left think the BBC is too much on the right.
