Looks like some adults might be doing so at least if this Sunday Times story is to be believed.

The Sunday Times said:

The BBC’s head of news told LGBT staff that they must get used to hearing views they disagreed with as the corporation faced accusations from its own employees that it was “institutionally transphobic”.

Fran Unsworth, who is due to leave the corporation in January, was speaking on an often-hostile Zoom call with the BBC’s Pride network on Friday morning.

The meeting, in which Tim Davie, the director-general, also tried to reassure staff that he was concerned about LGBT inclusivity, was held in the wake of the corporation’s departure from Stonewall’s diversity champions scheme, under which it paid for advice and assessment from the charity.

Critics of the BBC’s participation in the scheme argued that it ran contrary to its commitment to impartiality because of Stonewall’s lobbying on transgender issues.

Two sources who attended the meeting said Unsworth, 63, told staff: “You’ll hear things you don’t personally like and see things you don’t like — that’s what the BBC is, and you have to get used to that.” She added: “These are the stories we tell. We can’t walk away from the conversation.”

A BBC journalist said: “Fran was totally calm but determined about it. She was reacting to questions from the network that implied people shouldn’t come across views they disliked. To me, it felt like she was having to explain journalism to idiots.”

That last comment about ‘explaining journalism to idiots’ really sums up what has gone wrong with the BBC especially during its association with the Stonewall group. I’m gobsmacked about the arrogance coupled with moral weakness being shown by those BBC employees who are upset about the idea that they may hear views that they don’t like and have to cover stories about people with opinions that they disagree with.

Fran Unsworth is 100% correct to say that those whining about covering stories about LGBT issues that they may not agree with should put up and shut up. The BBC are also correct to distance themselves from Stonewall as at a time when the BBC is being justifiably criticised for veering away from a culture of impartiality, being associated with Stonewall and this group’s pushing of the cult of trans, just makes that criticism more intense.

In any news organisation you are going to come across stuff that you personally dislike but your personal likes and dislikes should not influence the policy of a publication or broadcaster. Only the editor or those in charge of putting together news programmes should be deciding what goes into a newspaper or onto the air. It is not the job of some non binary fraggle or a trans rights activist posing as a journalist to decide what stories are covered.

Have the adults entered the room at the BBC? Well with Ms Unsworth’s comments and her defence of impartiality, the adults have at least got their feet in the door of the room.
