In view of some newspaper coverage we would like to make it clear
that the 麻豆官网首页入口 defends and supports freedom of speech. This has never
been about freedom of speech. It is about how the job of a 麻豆官网首页入口 presenter
carries with it responsibilities about what is written and said
publicly and how this may impact on their on-air role.
The
麻豆官网首页入口 needs to be seen to be impartial when dealing with topical and
controversial issues.
The
key focus for the 麻豆官网首页入口 is, given the views he has stated, whether
Robert Kilroy-Silk can be seen as a suitable presenter of a daily
discussion programme dealing with a range of current and controversial
issues, with an audience from a wide cross-section of the public.
