The BBC is taking a stand on cancel culture by allowing conspiracy theorists, like Flat Earthers, to have a voice and a platform. David Jordan, the BBC’s director of editorial policy and standards, made the decision in an effort to offset the effects of cancel culture. Ana Kasparian and John Iadarola discuss on The Young Turks.

David Jordan, the BBC’s director of editorial policy and standards, said that the broadcaster’s commitment to balancing opinions would mean controversial views could be shared – including factually incorrect ones. Speaking during a Lords communications and digital committee, Jordan said: “Flat Earthers are not going to get as much space as people who believe that the Earth is round, but very occasionally, it might be appropriate to interview a flat Earther, and if a lot of people believed in a flat Earth, [then] we would need to address it more than we do at the present time.”" *** The largest online progressive news show in the world.
