Appeal to Guardian to expose BBC

Rather than showing Johnson getting his timing wrong at the Cenotaph and then placing his wreath upside down, the BBC for its Breakfast programme dug out some old footage from 2016 of Johnson with a green wreath and no gaffes! Of course, this was later claimed to be a "production mistake", but can anyone imagine the same happening if it had been Corbyn making the errors? As your editorial rightly says, during election campaigns, "reliable information matters more than ever", and it would appear that it is not only the "cavalier tactics" of the Conservative party and tabloid press which create the "fake news" (A doctored Tory video and dubious claim reveal a cavalier attitude to truth, 11/11/19). By all means, "remorselessly expose" the BBC whenever its obvious bias leads to a distortion of the truth.
