There is a line between analysis and opinion, and on the BBC that line must be iron. Analysis presents facts and shows how those facts connect. On the BBC, it cannot be partisan. It must be entirely factual, accurate and impartial. It must be a tool to allow audiences to reach their own conclusions.

One would think that rising gas prices would have ended this myth by now after exposing how U.S. prices still reflect global production. On top of that, U.S. allies and partners in Asia and Europe, which Walldorf elevates as priorities, need Middle Eastern oil for their own economies.
In reporting on a pianist's failed lawsuit after his performance was canceled following an on-stage proclamation that Israel was targeting journalists in Gaza, The New York Times cited to the Committee for the Protection of Journalists.
