BBC 'repeatedly failed' to declare guest's right-wing affiliations, ruling finds

The BBC fell below its own standards by failing to inform viewers of a right-wing think tank's affiliations, its complaints body ruled

THE BBC “fell below standards” by repeatedly failing to identify a right-wing commentator as having political bias, a ruling has found.

The BBC’s Executive Complaints Unit (ECU) reviewed a six-month period of broadcasts and found that no information about a contributor’s political affiliations was given despite the editorial guidelines in place.
