What a bunch of horseshit. What difference does it make if he is formally introduced as a labour party activist or not.

It's rather a large difference indeed. The BBC violated its own ethical standards to deceive viewers. But yeah, I understand if you think it's not a big deal - the BBC does it all the time.

We should not automatically assume that contributors from other organisations (such as academics, journalists, researchers and representatives of charities and think-tanks) are unbiased. Appropriate information about their affiliations, funding and particular viewpoints should be made available to the audience, when relevant to the context.

I mean from a viewers point of view, it is to say, Syrian refugee opposes government immigration policy but pay no mind to that because he is also a labour activist?

The BBC deliberately deceived its viewers.

You dont seem to understand. The viewers would not care if the Syrian refugee joined the labour party or not. It makes no difference.

THe BBC violated its own ethical guidelines. Why are you trying to defend unethical journalism?

Because highlighting insignificant instances such as this one makes the whole issue of ethical guidlines look petty.

Insignificant? It's a big deal. I don't get why you're on the side of the upper class media and against honesty. You must be one of those paid shill accounts.
