Huw Edwards, the BBC’s former top news presenter, pleaded guilty Wednesday to three counts of making indecent images of children.

The offences he pleaded guilty to at Westminster Magistrates’ Court in central London during a 26-minute hearing involved images shared on WhatsApp between December 2020 and August 2021.

Edwards has been remanded on bail until a sentencing hearing on Sept. 16. He could face up to 10 years in prison.

The court heard that Edwards, 62, was involved in an online chat with an adult man on the messaging service who sent him 377 sexual images, of which 41 were indecent images of children.

      You kinda have to shift everything they put slightly to the right - if AP is center-left, then I don’t know what to say anymore.

            You don’t see the issue with attaching the political opinion of a single, far- right, pro-zionist guy to every single news story posted?

              Again, the only non-rambling concern I’ve seen about MBFC is that they are staunchly pro-Israel. What evidence do you have that they’re “far-right”? Calling AP center-left is a slight bias shift, but certainly not enough for me to call them far-right.

                I’m assuming that you’re American? This is world news. Calling mainstream US media outlets anything approaching left-wing is absolutely farcical.

                  What does it being world news have to do with it? My comment was that if MBFC marks the Associated Press, one of the most neutral news sources in the world alongside perhaps Reuters, as center-left, then naturally you should adjust all their judgments slightly to the right.
