    Between a rock and a virtual signalling hard place.

    The BBC have been forced to admit they edited a report into the arrest of suspected serial killer Harvey Marcelin in New York City.
    They admit amending the article to reveal an alleged killer is in fact male bodied.
    Shortly after publication, the BBC article made no mention of the fact the killer is biologically male and only recently identified as female.
    On the 15th of March a line at the bottom of the article was added to reflect the sex of the killer.
    On the 17th, which features a more prominent reference to the sex of the suspected killer, as well as an added detail the suspect only "recently" identified as the opposite sex.

    Eh? They edit stories all the time. It's rare an online article isn't edited several times as new details surface. Why were they forced to do anything?

      What actually happened:

      GB News reporter calls BBC. "We've noticed you've edited that article".
      BBC says "Yes, this article used the suspect’s male name. It was amended to make clear that Harvey Marcelin had recently identified as a woman.”

      So for GB News if someone answers a question, they're being forced.

      Maybe with a bit of work one day GB News will attain DM levels of journalistic professionalism.

      Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

        One thing we can be almost certain about. They weren't identifying as a woman when they were doing the killing because virtually all serial killers are male.

        I wonder if they only recently identified as a woman because they knew they were about to get caught, and wanted to try and get placed in a Women's prison?

          Cynical bastard.

          What the audience really needs to know is how much is his/her/its house worth?

            Not an awful lot I'd have thought, seeing as it is little more than a shack, and the yard has been bulldozed into a lunar landscape by FBI officers looking for more bodies.

                Can they afford to be sued so many times?

                  Has GB News ever done a story about Christopher Chandler?
