The very fact that the BBC have released this statement and admitting their bias against is acknowledgement that they have broken their charter regarding reporting impartially. This is a massive climb down from them. An apology to those that have complained to them, only to be dismissed out of hand, would have been nice as they’ve clearly been vindicated and proved correct.
But, whilst I’ll accept the apology in an effort to move forward, actions speak louder than words. Let’s hope they mean what they say, but I’ll not be holding my breathe as it appears ingrained from top to bottom there.
I’ve no doubt this wasn’t instigated at BBC Scotland, who will now continue with their coverage as they see fit. Impartial? We’ll see.
But the at the very first instance of one-sidedness should result in Rangers coming down on them like a ton of bricks. Rangers will be aware of from where this directive came and should forward their response there - and not to Pacific Quay.
