A BBC newsreader who went viral after she changed the script from “pregnant people” to “pregnant women” has been rebuked by the corporation for expressing what it termed “a personal view on a controversial matter.”
The BBC upheld the complaints against newsreader Martine Croxall on Thursday, although she has not been fired by the publicly-funded broadcaster, which is currently under scrutiny for its alleged biases following a leaked internal report.
