RawB93 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Oor Armando gets it BBC should be be curious about people's opinions - satirist We've been hearing from the writer and satirist Armando Iannucci, who's been defending Gary Lineker's right to tweet opinions. He says "public faces on the BBC shouldn't be expected to toe the government and state line", adding "that's just part of what an independent broadcaster is". Speaking to Evan Davis on Radio 4's PM programme earlier, he adds:"The offending tweet was actually factually correct in that he didn't compare the government to the Nazis, he said the language being used about immigration is not dissimilar to the language used in Germany in the 1930s, which is absolutely correct." Quote Message: It's lazy to say he was comparing the policy to the Nazis. He wasn't, he was comparing the language and the climate to certain aspects of what was going on in the 1930s." from Armando Iannucci It's lazy to say he was comparing the policy to the Nazis. He wasn't, he was comparing the language and the climate to certain aspects of what was going on in the 1930s." Armando Iannucci Iannucci also says there are other examples of presenters showing opinions while working for the BBC. "For example, Andrew Neil is an amazing presenter, but we know what his views are and he's stated them on Twitter. If we assume someone is professional and can do their job, then what they say privately on media away from the BBC, it shouldn't be a concern," he says. "People are confusing impartiality with 'im-curiosity' and I think it's the duty of the BBC to be curious about what's being said." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 1 hour ago, Monkey Tennis said: This is fascinating now. I'm a big fan of the BBC in terms of its remit and its funding model. I think it does amazing things and is remarkably good value. The wallet inspector must make a killing round your neck of the woods. "Hold on while we pay our flat tax to a single broadcaster every year just because they existed in the 1920s'. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
