So I'm not allowed an opinion then?

Having an impartiality clause doesn't make an organisation impartial. Still far too many journalists pushing for a gotcha moment, and presenting opinion without covering the objective facts of a situation. For me its not been the politics but the way the virus has been reported that has grated. Always looking to present the biggest, baddest numbers and often overlooking the encouraging trends in figures which to me are equally important to report. And to still be saying XXX people died today on the news at 10, when its reported deaths, some of which go back a couple of months, is beyond me. You'd have thought they'd have grasped this by now, after all its only been 12 weeks since lockdown.

Every broadcaster does it, but I'd prefer if the BBC recognised what they have become, clause or no clause, and stopped pretending they are still behaving as they did in the 50's.

I could go on.
