“Ofcom's published guidance in this area makes clear that accuracy entails "getting the facts right". Section Five of the Code, which contains rules on due accuracy and due impartiality, states that due refers to "adequate or appropriate to the subject and nature of the programme". The approach may vary according to the nature of the subject, the type of programme and channel, the likely expectation of the audience, and how far the content and approsch is signalled to the audience. For example, for a matter of particular public interest, the requirement to present that matter with due
accuracy will be correspondingly higher”
“The nature of the subject”: murder
”The Type of programme” : news/factual/non-fiction
”Channel”: BBC 1 supposedly the best, and paid for
”The likely expectation of the audience”: to know the truth, that a man with the protected characteristic under the EA of Gender Reassignment , in this case a male human who believes he is a woman, and also sometimes a cat, who previously tortured and liquidised a cat, murdered a man and threw him in the river in Oxford.
That is surely a matter of public interest, requiring the matter to be presented with due accuracy.
Adam Baxter seems to be rather arrogant and complacent to think that that reply is a worthy enough response to the Baroness’s complaint.
