BBC backs complaint against Martine Croxall for altering pregnant women | BBC

The BBC has raised a complaint against Newsroader Martine Croxall after she changed the term “pregnant people” to her eyebrows during a news channel broadcast over the summer.

The corporation said that the executive complaints EXECUTIVE (ECU) is preparing 20 complaints about the broadcast. This expression on Croxall’s face is said to “leave it open to interpretation as it reflects a certain perspective on the controversies surrounding identification”.

Under the BBC’s bias rules, news presenters are not allowed to express views on controversial topics. Croxall and the editorial team involved were consulted on the matter.

Croxall received both praise and criticism for the incident when a clip of it went viral online. JK Rowling, who makes her critical teaching crystal clear, Croxall says is her “new favorite BBC presenter”.

Croxall introduced a news story about research into groups at greater risk during heatwaves. It is based on a study and news release at the London school of hygiene and tropical medicine.

“Malcolm Mistry, who is involved in the research, says that the elderly, pregnant people … women with pre-existing conditions should be careful,” he said.

In its review of the complaints, the ECU said the phrase “pregnant people” was followed by “a facial expression expressing disgust, ridicule, contempt”.

It says “Fast”

However, accepting this explanation, it is said that the facial expression that accompanies his change of words “leaves it open to interpretation that characterizes the controversies surrounding identity recognition”.

“The messages of sympathy that Ms Croxall later received on social media, along with critical views expressed in complaints to the BBC and elsewhere expressed a personal view of the whole issue of the issue,” it said.

Croxall told an X user at the time he was about to be slaughtered before the BBC bros.

Responding to the significant impact the clip made on Social Media that day, he said: “A big thank you to everyone who chose to follow me today for whatever reason…”
