Sounds like a political decision.

No. Sounds like a concept that has run out of steam and viewer interest.

On Wednesday, the BBCâs chief content officer Kate Phillips said the ECU âfound this should not have made it to air and it was a clear breach of our editorial standardsâ. However, she noted, it also âfound the breach was not intentionalâ.
The ECU received âa large number of complaintsâ about the BBCâs Baftas coverage, and upheld those relating to editorial standards on harm and offence.
Last month, outgoing director general Tim Davie said the BBC âprofoundly regretsâ what happened, adding that the team editing the ceremony had not heard the word and did not intentionally leave it in.

ErâŚâShould not have made it to airâ, more like shouldâve not invited whoever made that outrageous slur in the first place. That person should be blacklisted from these sorts of events from now on for that kind of disgusting behaviour.

I heard something about it and having worked with people that have similar issues, yes itâs sometimes unstoppable or unpreventable but it doesnât make it any more acceptable.

Bunkum.
The BBC was able to edit out pro-Palestine messaging, they could easily have edited out these words. Or, better yet, not put a live microphone in front of him.
