- belter 2y agoFrom the times of - Jimmy Savile, - It's history of pandering to the UK Establishment, - Refusing to call Hamas members terrorists, - Reporting Gaza casualties within minutes with number received from Hamas but reported as coming from the Ministry of Health, - The scandal with the report of Nigel Farage bank account closing, - Refusing to investigate Assange treatment by the UK legal system, Nobody takes anymore the BBC as a reliable source. But...the title of this post is editorialized, and should therefore be changed.
- manarth 2y agoActual title in the Guardian article: "Post Office accidentally leaks names and addresses of wrongfully convicted operators" Also, the Guardian makes no reference to any BBC article.
