[QUOTE="James from London, post: 162527, member: 22"] Everyone in my particular little Twitter bubble seems to have a slightly different opinion on this today and I've found myself agreeing with all of them. Jon Ronson's tweet that it seemed really unlikely that Baker has been a secret racist for the past forty years and just suddenly decided to blow his cover today made sense to me. The main argument I've seen seems to boil down to intent: specifically, does it even matter what Baker's intention was? Some people argue that whether or not he [I]intended[/I] to be racist is irrelevant; the only thing that matters is the [I]result[/I]. Others argue that his intention is crucial to the matter. I think the kind of impartiality BBC is meant to maintain is more about presenting different sides of an argument from credible, qualified sources, not just about 'controversial v non-controversial'. Otherwise, they could never have a discussion about the Holocaust without having a Holocaust denier there to say it never happened, or a discussion about climate change without someone arguing that climate change doesn't exist.
