The Spin

Narrative A

The BBC was shocked to hear of Huw Edward's crimes. The outlet condemns such behavior and, as internal policy mandates, had the former presenter still been employed following the verdict his contract would've been immediately terminated. The BBC strives to uphold the highest standards of integrity. Throughout these events, it allowed its independent editorial team the freedom to scrutinize and inform to the best of its capabilities.

BBC News

Narrative B

While talk about Huw Edward's uncomfortable relationship with younger staffers had existed for some time, the long-time face of the BBC's admission of possessing child pornography has left the UK in a state of shock. Edward's crimes will once again reopen questions surrounding the BBC's current culture and future existence as he becomes yet another high-profile employee to be an exposed pedophile.
