Others might disagree, but the BBC has to make a call one way or the other.
I choose to disagree. BBC is a public service broadcaster...a very unique and therefore treasurable institution. It must take all care not to call things one way or the other and therefore fall into the trap of being a propaganda machine. These are obviously weighty decisions. And I'm certainly of the view that for most of its past, the BBC has actually been an Establishment Service Broadcaster!
