Bbc Set Record Straight Re James Dyson Accusation:
“The BBC’s characterisation of me as a prominent Conservative donor, or supporter, leveraging a position of power to extract favours from the Prime Minister, is completely untrue,” he wrote in The Daily Telegraph.
“I have met Boris Johnson only three times – always with officials – the last time in 2016. I have not attended any Conservative social events.”
On a BBC corrections and clarifications web page, the publicly-funded broadcaster responded to Sir James’ objections to the way he had been described.
“In our coverage of texts he had sent to the Prime Minister we referred in various outlets to Sir James Dyson as a prominent Conservative supporter or said he backed the Conservatives,” the website entry on Monday said.
“Sir James says this is factually incorrect. We are happy to set the record straight.

Naomi, "Correct Mistakes" is in the same guidelines I referred to in the other thread. I'll suggest again, very few publishers have, let alone publish, similar standards and guidelines and ask to be held accountable to them. I'll ask again, where do you prefer to get your news of UK politics from?
