Comment BBC are Gaslighting (Score 1) 25
Too right they are experts in "misinformation"
Heres 10 examples of the nations least trusted broadcaster's (BBC) "Misinformation"
1. Question Time audience composition
Audience makeup on Question Time has drawn complaints from both directions for years — Conservative and Brexit-supporting critics say audiences skew liberal-left, even hiring actors to pose as members of the public to present a false narrative.
2. Diane Abbott / Fiona Bruce polling exchange (2019)
Abbott was corrected on-air over polling figures; the BBC later admitted its review found she'd been right to say other polls suggested Labour was either ahead or tied, and conceded it should have made that clear at the time.
3. Newsnight's Corbyn/Kremlin graphic (2018)
Newsnight placed Corbyn's image against Moscow's skyline during Salisbury poisoning coverage - his hat had been digitally altered to look more "Russian."
4. Laura Kuenssberg's "grim reading" postal vote claim (2019)
On the eve of the 2019 election, Kuenssberg's claim that postal votes looked bad for Labour drew roughly 15,000 complaints from viewers since in order to make such a statement regarding postal votes sugesting she must have had access to that data prior to the result.
5. 2019 general election coverage overall
The BBC reportedly received over 60,000 complaints about its election coverage, a sharp jump from 5,000 in 2015 and 7,000 in 2017, with complaints about anti-Corbyn bias.
6. Boris Johnson Question Time audience-laughter edit (2019)
The BBC edited a daytime news clip to remove audience laughter that followed a question to Johnson about honesty, prompting accusations of favorable editing.
7. Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone (2025)
An internal BBC review found the documentary breached editorial guidelines on accuracy by failing to disclose the child narrator was the son of a senior Hamas official. Ofcom went further, ruling the film was "materially misleading" and breached the Broadcasting Code.
8. Gaza: Doctors Under Attack ( 2025)
Running the other direction: the BBC declined to broadcast this Gaza documentary after members of the (separate, independent) production team made public comments accusing Israel of war crimes. BBC suppressed coverage rather telling the truth.
9. Iraq War coverage (2002–2003)
BBC facilitated government WMD claims (including the "45 minutes" assertion) with insufficient scrutiny in the run-up to war. Further more the government's dossier had been "sexed up," which triggered the Hutton Inquiry, the death of David Kelly, and the resignation of the Director-General and Chairman after Hutton found against the BBC's editorial processes. So the BBC was too credulous toward the government.
10. "False balance" on economic/austerity coverage
A frequently cited academic critique (Cardiff University media research, among others) argues BBC economics coverage in the early 2010s tended to frame deficit reduction as consensus common sense rather than a contested policy choice, disproportionately featuring City/financial-sector voices over dissenting economists.
