BBC anchor Peter Sissons, who announced his retirement last month, has gone public with his criticism of BBC reporting standards, saying that political correctness now rules.
As reported in the Daily Mail, he stated that "it is now ‘effectively BBC policy’ to stifle critics of the consensus view on global warming."

Proponents of nuclear power often champion France’s nationally-celebrated plutonium recycling (aka “reprocessing”) program as proof that nuclear power is both clean, and renewable. But the reprocessing program is far from perfect — in fact, it’s just as problematic as nuclear energy itself.
