If the BBC was on the side of the people, doing journalism in the public interest, it would have spent this election screaming:
‘Labour have a plan backed by climate scientists to address the climate crisis (and create loads of jobs)!’.
‘Labour won’t suck up to Saudi Arabia and help them kill thousands in Yemen!’
‘Jeremy Corbyn has spent his life fighting for your rights!’.
‘Boris Johnson is a deceitful, inhuman racist, who is effectively in an alliance with Nigel Farage!!’
Instead we got:
‘Lifelong anti-racist Jeremy Corbyn is a racist!’.
‘Man of peace is a terrorist-loving traitor!’.
‘Here’s Boris Johnson eating a scone!’.
The only time they really held Johnson to account was with Andrew Neil’s monologue, after he refused an interview. But that was far too little, too late.
Mostly, the BBC simply parroted far-right talking points from the billionaire-owned press. Fascist enablers.
Recommend this book.
