Those BBC values in full: paedo = gay

Another in my occasional series about the BBC (which may well have been corrected by the time you read this):

Miranda Grell news story

Now, innocent until you’re proven guilty on all that: I’m not commenting on the case itself. But since when does accusing someone of paedophilia count as a “gay slur”? If a straight man was accused of paedophilia, would the BBC call it a “hetero slur”?

    Changed at 11.27 to “Councillor accused over ‘slurs’”
