A very large proporation of this article has been contributed by KamTarwin, an editor who has only ever edited this page and no others. So naturally there is a risk here of bias and advocacy. I've read through the policy on Single-purpose accounts, so I'm going to assume good faith. I just wanted to flag this up. Seaweed (talk) 12:17, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Producer of Peter Snow "Falklands" items on Newsnight

[edit]

In the "Early BBC Career" section there is the following text:Whilst working on Newsnight during the Falklands War she produced many of Peter Snow’s reports illustrating military clashes between the British and Argentine forces using a sand-box. These included his broadcast on 2nd May 1982 in which he referred to the unreliability of information provided by the Argentine regime of the day. He then struck a sceptical note about a report from the Ministry of Defence. Snow’s choice of words was raised in the House of Commons at Prime Minister’s Questions and a few days later prompted a leader column in the Sun newspaper saying “there are traitors in our midst”.[1][2] The BBC Chairman, George Howard went on the record to defend the BBC's "reputation for telling the truth".[3][4]

The problem is that none of those references actually mention Jana Bennett. I've tried searching for other references, but can't find anything. It's a remarkably specific example, so there must be something in it, but it's not verifiable, so I'm going to remove it. Seaweed (talk) 20:26, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
