Resumen de United Kingdom: : Ofcom determines RT programme was unjust and unfair in its depiction of BBC reporting on Syria
Ofcom determined that global news and current affairs channel RT, produced in Russia and funded by the Federal Agency for Press and Mass Communications of the Russian Federation, had unfairly and unjustly treated the BBC in its depiction of the British public service broadcaster’s reporting on the Syrian crisis.
The BBC complained about an episode of RT’s current affairs programme Truthseeker entitled “Media staged Syrian Chem Attack” and broadcast several times in March 2014. The programme made allegations concerning three BBC news reports shown on BBC News at Ten on 29 August 2013, 30 September 2013, and an edition of their current affairs series Panorama, broadcast on 30 September 2013.
