That a channel can claim to be surprised or even outraged in these circumstances shows a total absence of understanding of both their own actions and their standing.
If their position has changed, say so. “We said at the highest profile media event of the year that the PM is a liar and that saying so is our position. We no longer mean that. Firm and fair, no bias either way now.” It might be hard to believe them but at least try.
It would be more difficult for people to refuse, if the last word “on the record” from the channel was no longer “you’re a liar and our position as a channel is to call you a lying liar who lies and we encourage others to do so too. Now come on the show.”
