.. of the fact the BBC blocked the freedom of the public to access information (see the cartoons) despite clear consent by a group of its representatives (the audience) for arbitrary reasons whose motives were unclear and highly questionable.

The real motivations behind the self censorship did include fear of reprisal and of insurance premium increase.

Anyone denying free speech was not curtailed for all the wrong reasons is out of touch with reality AND in denial.

Because I already stated some journalists are on record stating fear was the deciding factor in blocking the cartoons.
