    The BBC has become everything George Orwell warned us about in his book 1984.

    The BBC has become very dangerous with their new 'BBC Verify'.

    Truth and free speach is dead.

    Evil abounds.

    This is NOT what I am required to pay my licence fee by law.

    The usual lack of self awareness from the BBC. they have lost all credibility and need to be defunded.

    Okay but just because Ukraine stop receiving shells like that in 2012, doesn't mean they haven't hung onto a bunch of them till now. Give me a break. Anytime a government or government-funded entity is the arbiter of Truth, we are going to run into problems.

    YES "We've had enough of the BBC" funding their staffs peado activities. Its not been "Fit for purpose" for over 20years!

    And what is "BBC Verify", how does it justify or even prove its verification is right or true, does its presenters have correspondence with "New Scotland Yard" or even the London Met police, helping them investigate their verifications, the answer is probably "No"!

    Lol. Ukraine's been using cluster munitions too. Why doesn't the BBC talk more about Operations Aerodynamic and Gladio if they are into spreading the truth a little more.

    Marriana Spring, in her recent interview with the editor of The Light newspaper was quick to condemn any violence perpetrated by "conspiracy theorists" Absolutely no problem at all, though, encouraging and promoting Ukraine's Western-sponsored violence against Russia. Yet another example of her obvious cognitive dissonance

    The @BBCNews is now trying to take the moral high ground by creating a whole new department called @bbcverrify. As one of the most UNTRUSTED sources of news, this is just another piece of propaganda, but no one is buying it. The @BBC is a family company spending public money. All information put out by the BBC itself needs to be verified. The #UKrain war has exposed Western Media.

    All you have to do is watch the BBC to see all the misleading misinformation about the war. The acronym for "state sponsored propaganda" should be BBC.

    It just shows how arrogant and evil they really are. So glad I cancelled my TV licence last year. I follow independent reporters who show the truth about what is really happening out there. After spending well over a decade in the military I quickly learnt how much Governments and the media lie to the Public.

    The BBC’s misinformation team? Christ you people have been busy over the last three years – I can’t keep up with all the government sponsored misinformation the BBC has peddled! The BBC used to have a reputation for integrity and impartiality, but not any more. Shame on them for their lack of questioning and investigative journalism. During the Covid nonsense they peddled an alleged daily Covid death toll, but right now we have an unprecedented excess death rate and not a peep. I don’t believe a word the organisation puts out.

    the BBC is a propaganda corporation. that above all, defers to the UK government and its agencies and promotes establishment narratives. Its absolutely laughable that they have the gall to claim to be arbiters of truth when they have done nothing but spread propaganda since their inception almost 100 years ago. The BBC should come with a warning label: UK State Propaganda Agency.

    @BBC News • Created a ministry of truth, project verify hides all the paedophiles. this is the definition of propaganda state run TV, facts change and involve, for example that the vaccines work and if you went against the agenda you where labelled and demonised as a conspiracy theorist, always do your own homework.

    Who chooses what information gets verified, can the public decide?

    Are we sure this isn’t a new Brass Eye special, the irony of the BBC tackling misinformation is off the scale

    December 21, 2023 at 8:31 pm

    What about we hear from the BBC the real truth about why the war in Ukraine started and why Assange is in Bell Marsh Prison. I do believe it may have something to do with our governent not having the balls to free him

Iceland on track to reject EU referendum as counting nears end | BBC News

Published

on



Iceland has voted against resuming membership talks with the European Union, public broadcaster RUV has reported, with just one constituency’s votes left to count.

It reported that 52.5% of the 188,496 votes so far counted had rejected the government’s proposal, while 47.5% had said yes. Some 9,500 votes separated them.

Prime Minister Kristrún Frostadóttir’s centre-left government promised to hold a referendum by 2027, but brought it forward because of international tensions, including US President Donald Trump’s threats against Greenland.
