Complaint
A viewer complained that one part of this 60-second trail breached the 麻豆官网首页入口鈥檚 standards of impartiality by presenting 鈥渙nly the pro-abortion case鈥.
Outcome
The trail showcased a number of extracts from Our World, which it described as 鈥渁 series of documentary films that reveal the human drama at the heart of global events鈥. The extracts included people expressing their own responses to a range of issues and events, including recent wars and conflicts as well as abortion legislation. 聽In the ECU鈥檚 judgement, viewers in general would readily have understood that the intention was to give a flavour of the series rather than provide an exploration of the issues to be dealt with at greater length in each programme.聽 In this context, there was no requirement to balance the comments made by individual contributors with comments from a contrary viewpoint.
