I can’t fault the BBC for wanting to present themselves as being objective.

The news has to be objective.

Since it must report in an objective manner it must also present in an objective manner.

Wearing of religious symbols on TV while reporting on a story of religious significance, does not project objectivity. Therefore presenters of the news must keep an appearance that displays neutrality at all times.

A reporter covering a war does not present as objective if he is doing so with a peace symbol on his helmet no more than he would present as objective reporting it with a skull and cross bones on his helmet.

If you don’t report objectively, it is not news it is an editorial.
