As readers will recall, last week Extinction Rebellion were bragging off about their meeting with BBC big wigs to discuss editorial coverage.
So I thought I would FOI the BBC to confirm whether the meeting actually took place and what was discussed.
I was not surprised when the BBC refused to divulge any information, as evidently it was a state secret!
This was their reply:
This response does tell us a couple of things though:
1) They did not deny that the meeting took place
2) They admit that the meeting was held for “purposes of journalism”. I think we can rule out art and literature!
So clearly what Extinction Rebellion said was all true – that they went to discuss the BBC’s editorial coverage of climate change.
How the BBC can then go on to talk about maintaining their editorial independence is beyond me!
