THE BBC has told its reporters not to use the word “kidnapped” when describing the US government’s allegedly illegal abduction of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.

The directive was revealed by The National contributor Owen Jones, who said it had been passed to him by a member of BBC staff.

    I get a notification on my app, I reply. Funnily enough I'm not actually keeping up-to-date with what you have to say elsewhere.

    The trouble is, I agree with you about the BBC and neutrality.

    But spouting bullshit you refuse to back up (seriously, just one link to an article where the BBC call Hamas terrorists, that's all I'm asking) lowers the quality of the debate for everyone, and makes the rest of your argument look weak.
