Elon Musk calls BBC ‘among least biased’ in Twitter row

The Independent says Twitter owner Elon Musk has described the BBC as “among the least biased” organisations after the broadcaster objected to being labelled as “government-funded media” on the social media site.

The BBC contacted Twitter after the designation was attached to the main @BBC account.

Responding to the complaint, Mr Musk asked: “Is the Twitter label accurate?”.

He later emailed the BBC, writing: “We are aiming for maximum transparency and accuracy. Linking to ownership and source of funds probably makes sense.

“I do think media organisations should be self-aware and not falsely claim the complete absence of bias.
