Complaint

A viewer complained that, in the course of an interview with Robert Jenrick MP, a “highly distorted image” of him was shown on a free standing studio screen, which was likely to have “tainted viewers’ reading” of Mr Jenrick.   The ECU considered the complaint in the light of the BBC’s editorial standards of impartiality.


Outcome

The ECU did not find the image to be in any way “distorted” and did not uphold the complaint.

Not upheld
