'The BBC is
institutionally guilty of discriminating against men.'
Hequal: Earlier this week we reported on the tragic case of Grant Townsend,
a young man from Hull who sadly took his own life after being falsely
accused of rape. In the article we noted the lack of national media
coverage of the case, highlighting in particular the public service
obligations of the BBC to report on the case (specifically the local BBC
Look North and radio Humberside networks).
RIP - Grant Townsend
We’re pleased to say that our initial
report is now somewhat outdated and sections of the media picked up on
the story immediately after our article was published. On Wednesday the
Daily Mail published an excellent article concerning the case, as did The Sun Newspaper.
Notably, these two titles are the best selling newspapers in the
country. Thankfully this wasn’t the end of the matter either, with the
Daily Mirror catching up with the story on Thursday, and thus bringing it to a more left-leaning audience.
