'It is existential for the BBC to defend themselves and their ability to tell the truth in the face of mounting dark forces'.

But if they are sometimes obviously not capable of telling the truth and worse at times even generate fake news would their lack of existence be missed ?

Can you tell us who these 'dark forces' are ?

Sounds very apocalyptic !

'The content of the documentary is accurate'.

Overall it is not and you know it.

Were it to be so why is an apology for it needed and being given ?

And why stand by journalists that generate programmes containing fake news ?

Surely to protect its reputation for unbiased news it should sack them; after all there are c.6,000 others to take their place !

And if the program containing the fake news was outsourced to an 'independent' production company it should be struck off the preferred suppliers list.

Can you explain why the aggressive defensive posture taken up by you and your ilk is focused solely on Trump ?

Finally have you read what has been published about the Prescott report ?

From Yahoo News -

'It is an insider’s account of serious and widespread failings of impartiality, systemic bias and activist journalism spanning years of BBC news coverage.

It lays bare for the first time how senior BBC executives repeatedly tried to dismiss, downplay or excuse these failings in a total abdication of their responsibilities. In doing so, they failed to uphold the highest standards of public service journalism we must expect of the BBC.

Michael Prescott is a serious and respected journalist. As an adviser to the BBC’s Editorial Standards Committee for three years he had regular and detailed access to evidence of the BBC’s journalistic failures and groupthink.

The Prescott report, authored by former journalist Michael Prescott, reveals serious concerns about editorial bias within the BBC.

Key findings include:

Misleading editing of Donald Trump's speech during the Capitol riot, which was perceived as incitement to violence.

Allegations of BBC Arabic downplaying Israeli suffering in the Gaza conflict and promoting Hamas's views without proper editorial checks.

Criticism of the BBC's coverage of transgender issues, which was reportedly censored by LGBT specialist reporters.
