OMG Tim Davie new DG of @BBC in @CommonsDCMS just said it's current delivery & "way we've covered current crisis has been exceptional"😱
"Thinks record on impartiality has been exceptional"
Pro-Brexit Julian Knight new Chair attacking DG on coverage of #Brexit! 😱😭

Now Julian Knight cites a tweet from a sports presenter & wants sackings!! Now talking about @GaryLineker 😱
DG will not allow political statements on SM by BBC if 'face of the BBC'?!
There will be a range of enforcements!?

Please ask when BBC is going to properly cover @CommonsDCMS Reports on #FakeNews & DISINFORMATION including Cambridge Analytica & Vote Leave's AIQ!
@Channel4News exposé on #FacebookDanger2Democracy & #DeterringDemocracy again NOT reported by @BBCNews!
Apology to @carolecadwalla?

Why is @ico FINAL REPORT to @CommonsDCMS on Cambridge Analytica & AIQ etc NOT being produced?
Canadian Parliament & Information & Privacy Commissioner more concerned than UK? @PrivacyPrivee FINDINGS very serious for UK & global elections! Found Vote Leave's AIQ broke data laws!😱

Sorry now see virtual members! @AlexDaviesJones

But @BBC gives platform (long segment) to alt-right Bannon now arrested for fraud but doesn't Q him on corrupt Cambridge Analytica behind Trump election (Director Nix just banned for 7yrs as "unethical political practices) but NOTHING on @Channel4 exposé🤔

@KevinBrennanMP hope you're going to raise this with new DG Tim Davie in @CommonsDCMS today!! Cambridge Analytica trending & linked to AIQ & #Brexit referendum! BUT NOTHING on @BBCNews & @BBCPolitics today - AGAIN failing public interest & "global implications"! 😱😭
