Hey BBC, this is great! You have the People’s Vote march as your top story? Oh wait, what’s this “thousands march”? THOUSANDS? There were at least 100,000 so the correct unit if you want to give an honest idea of the scale is “tens of thousands”. #BBCfail bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
And not only do you downplay the size of the anti-Brexit march (“thousands” instead of “tens of thousands” or “an estimated 100,000”) but you feel obliged to report the pathetic pro-Brexit counter-march, presumably for “balance”. It had “hundreds” so you imply 1/10 the size.
BBC story now updated to refer to “tens of thousands”. Good. When I did my original tweet the pusillanimous twats were reporting that “thousands” had marched. #BBCfail #BrexitShambles
