‘Absurd’: BBC accused of ‘forcing women to lie’ after reprimanding presenter over correction

Описание: Women’s Forum Australia Head of Advocacy Stephanie Bastiaan reacts to a BBC presenter being found to have broken impartiality rules when she corrected her autocue from ‘pregnant people’ to ‘women’ live on air.

“Absolutely ridiculous ... but good on her for correcting the record,” she told Sky News Australia.

“You’re forcing women to lie about an innate biological fact.

“It’s utterly absurd. I mean, the taxpayers have had enough; there’s been calls to defund it, they’ve got a multi-billion-dollar budget – what a total waste of time.”
