BBC Presenter Huw Edwards Suspended

[jfman]

I’m not the biggest Pierre fan going.

However I do believe politicians should at least pretend to be upstanding and beyond reproach. That requires at least some journalistic integrity, not least among those at the state broadcaster, to hold them to that standard.

I do not - and never will - accept morality is merely operating within the law.

I also find it ludicrous for forum members who criticised Boris Johnson so vociferously to pretend there’s a morality in doing nothing illegal while condemning him.

I really do not like him at all

He quoted my points quite a bit but I personally do not think I said anything that turned out to be wrong in this thread at all

I did not judge Huw when a good few had judged him a nonce and as that turned out I was right not to. I refuse to judge someone on their morality I do not agree with a lot of their choices but who am I to condemn them? In my world only Jehovah can do that

The biblical imagery of “let he ho is without sin cast the first stone” is nice and all that but I prefer my journalists whiter than white nailing Conservative politicians to the wall.

If the bold Huw needs some sick leave for acting within the law he’s not up to the task.

He needs sick leave because his mistakes have been misreported by the None Whiter than White Sun newspaper

Please tell me what papers out there really fit your requirements?

No newspaper needs to meet my standard for the bold Huw to fall beneath his own.

If you sincerely believe the bloke who reads news at 10 on the state broadcaster can survive this then I don’t know what to say.

Zelensky is more likely to turn up conceding the already lost territories to Russia on RT than Huw Edwards read news at 10.

I do not think anything. It is not up to me if he keeps his job or not.

My view is all about not judging him for what he has done. Many many people do the same. I question who the victim is. I personally do not think the young man is a victim he raked it in. And there is no evidence to show Huw knew he was spending it on drugs

Very well what’s he got to worry about? Get in front of the camera and start trousering 400k a year of taxpayers money. Let the public judge with their eyeballs.

His cowardice when he gets a six figure pay off to not front up who he is will be the final insult to the licence fee payer.

I said multiple times I thought what he did was immoral but also made the point it was legal which was relevant because he was accused of illegality.

Then you are doomed to constant disappointment.

This, on the other hand, is illegal: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crgr49q591go.

Former BBC News presenter Huw Edwards has been charged with three counts of making indecent images of children.

The offences are alleged to have taken place between 2020 and 2022, according to the Metropolitan Police.

The broadcaster was arrested last November and charged last month, the force revealed on Monday.

Thread title updated.

The offences are alleged to have taken place between 2020 and 2022 and relate to 37 images that were shared on a WhatsApp chat, according to the Metropolitan Police.

Strange how its taken this long, almost a year now.
