BBC tells journalists to stop calling hate preacher Abu Qatada 'an extremist'
and they can't show pictures of him looking fat either
But we can...
BBC journalists have been told not to call hate preacher Abu Qatada an 'extremist'.

Using such a term to describe the man once called 'Osama bin Laden's right-hand man in Europe', is making a 'value judgment' and should be avoided, bosses have said.

The corporation's managers have insisted he should be described as 'radical', according to meeting notes seen by the Telegraph.

Journalists were also advised not to use images that suggest the preacher is overweight, the paper says.
But nothing they show can hide the fact that Pastor Abu Qatada is the very definition of not a handsome man, with a beard that looks as if the glue will give way at any moment.
