BBC when compared to major American news outlets is usually considered a reputable news source.
That’s why their article defending their recently acquired corporate property represents a huge conflict of interest.
While the recent blow up about Mr Kohnstamm’s comments concerning his new book feels overdone, BBC should have behaved more ethically by not reporting on the issue in such a biased fashion or by at least making their disclosure prominent at the beginning of their report.
