Biassed reporting by the BBC again, as every day
BBC World a moment ago.
"A Congressional Committee has heard more damning evidence about President Trump's attempt to overturn...."
I switched off at that point.
It is for the viewer to decide what is damning (and damning is a very strong word, though not for the sophisticated BBC).
The BBC was always biassed (against Mrs Thatcher, for example) but not like this. A worse example of its partiality is its continual use of the word 'false' rather than 'strongly disputed'. 'False' is a value judgment and has no place in a news report.
Besides, it is impossible to prove a negative. BBC journalists, who tend to have gone public school and Oxford or Cambridge, should know that.
