Huw Edwards had his name plastered over every single British newspaper before any real evidence came to light. This story which has more serious allegations along with evidence obtained from a 3 year investigation is not receiving any media attention. This is corruption.

The Sun has received significant criticism over the stories it ran, which the tabloid has claimed was “squarely in the public interest”, but questions are also being asked of how Edwards’ name was able to be so visible to social media users.

If only the #BBC’s critics always cared this much about #YoungPeople

Whipping ourselves into a fury about the alleged activities of a #BBCpresenter is no substitute for the necessary overhaul of our policies and attitudes towards #children and young people

Nathan Sparkes, the chief executive of Hacked Off – a campaign group that was set up in the wake of the phone hacking scandal – told PinkNews that The Sun had “failed to follow very basic journalistic standards in pursuit of this story”:

LGBTQ activist, Peter Tachell agreed, saying:

“Unless a criminal offence has been committed or the young person has complained, it is a private matter & no one else’s business.”

Ooft! A powerful indictment of the state of UK media. Strong, but justified condemnations of editors & journalists for following the lead of the gutter rag known as The Sun.

There's a single lesson that we can take from the last few days.

Don't buy The S*n.

Vicky Flind says her husband is "suffering mental health issues" and is now receiving in-patient hospital care

The UK media coverage of this BBC presenter story has been so unprofessional. It’s been a constant frenzy of speculation & opinions without much substance at all. Now the police have determined no crime has been committed & the man is now in hospital, can we get back to real news? How much has already been buried because of this?

Met Police say no evidence that any criminal action has been commitedin #bbcpresenter case.

This is why you have "bringing the profession (etc.) in to disripute" clauses. Legal or not presenter has done so through their actions. Up to and including not facing the story head on when it first came out. Now media and anti-bbc in another frenzey and BBC looking like planks yet again. Best is channel 4 head boasting about how they have systems that would flag stuff up. famous last words like " I knew that was going to happen" "we had some warning signs" and "oh shit! A bus!" #BBCPresenter

It's nice to see all these MPs weighing in on the #BBCPresenter story coming out and saying how desperately important it is for organisations to deal firmly with sexual predators.

Meanwhile, Chris Pincher is still an MP.

Boris Johnson discusses his ‘brilliant strategy for confusing media’

A clip has resurfaced of Boris Johnson discussing his “brilliant strategy” for dealing with the media… do so many gaffes that the papers don't notice the real story. A good day to bury bad news?

So hasn't the deadline passed for the government to hand over Johnson's WhatsApp messages to the Covid Inquiry?

Whatever happened to that? Are any journalists free to report on it or are they all too busy distracting us with what an unnamed BBC presenter may or may not have done?

#CovidInquiry #BorisJohnson #BBCPresenter #MassiveDistractionFromWhatIsActuallyImportant

News organisations: "We can't possibly reveal the name of the #bbcpresenter for legal reasons."

News organisations also: "Watch this clip of Victoria Derbyshire stumbling over her words on Newsnight whilst introducing the story of the BBC presenter we can't name for legal reasons."

The amount of coverage the UK media is giving to the story about this unidentified BBC presenter is deeply disturbing. There’s no substance being released at all, it’s all just a frenzy of speculation & opinions. Shouldn’t we be waiting for the facts? But the thing that bothers me the most is the real news that is getting intentionally buried because of this.
