Huw Edwards, the BBC's former top news presenter, pleaded guilty Wednesday to three counts of making indecent images of children.
The offences he pleaded guilty to at Westminster Magistrates’ Court in central London during a 26-minute hearing involved images shared on WhatsApp between December 2020 and August 2021.
Edwards has been remanded on bail until a sentencing hearing on Sept. 16. He could face up to 10 years in prison.
The court heard that Edwards, 62, was involved in an online chat with an adult man on the messaging service who sent him 377 sexual images, of which 41 were indecent images of children.
You're viewing part of a thread.
Again, the only non-rambling concern I've seen about MBFC is that they are staunchly pro-Israel. What evidence do you have that they're "far-right"? Calling AP center-left is a slight bias shift, but certainly not enough for me to call them far-right.
I’m assuming that you’re American? This is world news. Calling mainstream US media outlets anything approaching left-wing is absolutely farcical.
What does it being world news have to do with it? My comment was that if MBFC marks the Associated Press, one of the most neutral news sources in the world alongside perhaps Reuters, as center-left, then naturally you should adjust all their judgments slightly to the right.
Yeah, America brained. Reuters is centre-right.
You're just proving my point... MBFC marks Reuters as very slightly left of center in terms of bias. If you think that Reuters is actually center-right, then you agree with me. You're clearly either not reading what I'm saying, or trying to push a point, either way I'm done here.
Sorry, I may have forgotten what we were originally talking about.
If your point is that they reprogram the bot to automatically shift their bias two clicks to the right, I’d be not entirely satisfied by that, but I’d be less annoyed about it.
If you’re suggesting that the solution to a systemic problem is for all of us to individually adjust our perspectives, then I disagree.
