Do compare this BBC report https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-45698134 on rape claims levelled at Cristiano Ronaldo with the BBC reporting of the claims made against Brett Kavanaugh.
The BBC report on their footballer hero starts with the defence:
'Cristiano Ronaldo has dismissed as "fake news" accusations by a US woman who alleges she was raped by the Portuguese footballer in 2009.
In an Instagram video, Ronaldo said: "They want to promote [themselves] by [using] my name. It's normal."
Ronaldo's lawyers say they will sue Germany's Der Spiegel magazine, which originally reported the allegations.'
Then the allegations:
' The magazine wrote that Kathryn Mayorga had claimed Ronaldo, 33, raped her in a hotel room in Las Vegas.
Ms Mayorga, 34, is reported to have filed a rape report with Las Vegas police shortly after the alleged incident.'
There's another part of the reports that, if true, seems to be more fact based than the allegations about Brett Kavanaugh.
The BBC's feelings about Cristiano Ronaldo are clear:
'The Portuguese international is regarded as one of the greatest players of all time.'
The BBC's position on the two stories is clear but bloody shouldn't be, the BBC is meant to be unbiased.
