Name: Helen Boaden
BBC Position: Director of BBC News (2010)

"Dear All,

We have had some occasions recently of BBC News staff using social networking sites to share with the world their somewhat controversial opinions on matters of public policy and the future of the BBC. Unsurprisingly, these have been picked up by the wider web and used to discredit the BBC and its impartiality. We have Editorial Guidelines which cover the personal use of the internet …which everyone should observe. We also have brains and judgement which I suggest people fully engage before rushing to communicate. Hx" (October 2010)
BBC Boss Tells Left-Wing News Staff "Stop Tweeting"

So the views of her staff show clearly that ...these have been picked up by the wider web and used to discredit the BBC and its impartiality.

So it's not the views they hold that is the problem, just the general public finding out about it. Also nobody discredits the BBC for its impartiality, just the absence of it.

This is the same stupid prat that reckons 'Impartiality is in the BBC genes'
