I've had enough of Senior #BBC Management & journalists gaslighting the British public & refusing to apologise for the BBC's appalling #GeneralElection2019ً coverage. Complaint letter to Director Tony Hall here: docs.google.com/document/d/1T5… #BBCbias
@bbclaurak @Renegade_Inc @nw_nicholas @medialens @BBCNewsPR @TheMendozaWoman @LabourLeft @SouthHackneyLab @ta_mills @D_Raval A key point here is the #BBC are completely out of touch with their audience, partly because BBC complaints & monitoring is palmed off to outsourcing crooks #CAPITA. Send your GE2019 #BBCbias complaints direct to BBC management instead👇docs.google.com/document/d/1T5…
@bbclaurak @Renegade_Inc @nw_nicholas @medialens @BBCNewsPR @TheMendozaWoman @LabourLeft @SouthHackneyLab @ta_mills @D_Raval Here is Tony Benn's 5 tests for those in power. #BBC top brass answer public complaints with nothing but contempt, because they don't represent our interests, and are in no way accountable to us. #BBCbias cc @jimwaterson

The BBC's impartiality has been called into question of late. Why is this? The answer is because they're not impartial.

So here's a brief thread on #bbcimpartiality
1. Earlier this week the BBC posted then deleted a viral tweet with a video showing Tory MP Priti Patel blaming the poor for being in poverty.

The BBC put this down to a captioning error. The video was uploaded again achieving only 0.5% of its original reach (244k rts vs 1k rts)
Then, in a news broadcast after the televised leaders' debate, the BBC edited footage to remove all traces of the audience laughing at Boris Johnson, the Tory candidate.

They later said that this was a 'mistake'.
