If BBC News was a hotbed of left-wing wokery producing *systemically* biased coverage Jeremy Corbyn may well have been elected Prime Minister in 2019.
It’s not. He wasn’t.
And we got Boris Johnson instead.

He was promoted to ensure that Brexit went ahead
He is the sort of shadowy character who is essential to the unpicking of democracy

Companies and institutions have given up on the idea of service generally. Now, it’s all about training the customer to do the work for them – and most of us don’t want to work for the companies we’re paying for service.

As more of our lives move online by default, digital ageism has quietly become one of the last unchallenged prejudices, writes Fiona Daly.

Regarding the Panorama debacle :
The accusation of misrepresentation of what Trump said on J6 is nothing new.
The controversy predates the BBC Panorama programme.
It was naive and careless of the programme makers to present the speech in this way.
But it doesn't mean the BBC is rotten.
