The BBC and British tabloid The Sun are under fire over an ostensible lack of accountability and reporting standards, even as they both engage in a media war over an alleged sexual misconduct scandal involving one of the broadcaster’s presenters.
While the BBC stands accused of inaction against its presenter Huw Edwards despite a complaint from the family of one of his “teenage victims”, The Sun is facing questions of journalistic impropriety with a U-turn on its reportage – which had accused the anchor of sexual misconduct – after a police assessment ruled out any criminal wrongdoing.
