They reported what they had heard and then speculated on what it might imply. It's a reasonable way of posing questions. The very fact that people are now trying to answer them proves that.

If the reporter had eye witness's who heard this it is reasonable to report. However as you said yourself he speculated that is not journalism. Since the incident the BBC has failed to produce any evidence to back this up which is why the Jewish community is upset.

Shoddy reporting.

I don't think so. I think it has opened up a debate which might otherwise not have happened. So long as the journalist was genuinely reporting what they heard, and there is no reason to doubt that, then speculating what the implications may, or may not, be, is perfectly reasonable. Not leaving any stone unturned is good journalism. In my opinion.

I ask again from who? Who did this reporter hear it from or is it the Blue Peter school of journalism "here's one I prepared earlier".

This is about the quality of the reporting on a subject the BBC must know is controversial "victim blaming jews".

If the BBC had said we have an eye witness who does not want to be identified for fear of reprisal so we have hidden their face and voice or their words are read by an actor I would accept that as good journalism. There will be an investigation so we will see what if any evidence the BBC produces.

Here's the problem I have with that train of thought.
Many journalists (for example) in areas of conflict, where direct information is difficult to obtain/unreliable, have been known to discuss issues amongst themselves, after a hard days work, perhaps over a few beers/wines, to reach a coherent and similar report to each other. Perhaps utilising the phrase "information from a reliable source", etc.
The conception that a journalist might seek to publish untruthful/controversial information and accusations in order to gain publicity and income££ should be ignored.

Where on earth do you think anyone can find a better balance?

I wait with great anticipation.

If that proves to be the case, then they should lose their job, and I am quite sure they would.

We need to be able to trust our national broadcaster and if, and when it goes wrong, as inevitably it does, know they will take strong action.

I trust them, above any other source, and feel ashamed that others don't. They are one of the very few things that we have left we can take any genuine pride in, and it makes me angry to read some of the views expressed here.

Those who think of themselves as "patriots" are often no such thing at all.

Just watched that interview. The interviewer had no interest in what it’s original discussion was supposed to be about. Very similar technique to Kuenessberg or whatever her name is who is basically only interested in her own agenda. Cleese saw straight through it and I applaud him for stopping the interview.

Couldn't agree more.

While obviously I'm completely with him on the woke stuff. I've got to be fair and say that after I watched it I thought Cleese was pretty unfair to her. I didn't think she was unreasonable at all and he was very grumpy.
