The BBC have finally responded to a complaint by Guy Aitchison and Stuart White over it’s coverage of the G20 protests.

Guy writes on the OurKingdom blog:

Well, better late than never. Over three months after mine and Stuart White’s complaint to the BBC over their coverage of the G20 protests we’ve finally got an email which isn’t just a generic reply and actually deals with some of the substantive points we raised.

Unfortunately, they’re still not admitting their coverage of the G20 protests was anything other than exemplary. At points the letter is defensive and evasive and when it comes to Julian Joyce’s article on kettling, it’s just plain wrong.
…
Although its initial reporting was nowhere near as misleading as the vitriol coming from the likes of the Standard and the Telegraph, the BBC is rightly held to a higher standard than these. But it demonstrated a warped sense of priorities when reporting on the policing of the G20 and at times was inaccurate and misleading.
