The difference is in the editing, which is usually more subtle and dangerous because it is initially at least more plausible. The classic, that is notorious, example is the BBC TV News footage which depicted miners "attacking" the police when it was the other way round. Another example of it is using the word "unverified" at the end of a sentence instead of stressing it at the beginning - thus making it almost an afterthought. And then of course there is censorship by omission, Jeremy Corbyn being the supreme example.<br /><br />ITN and Sky are even worse.<br /><br />The sum total is mainstream media which is dishonest, hypocritical and completely untrustworthy in virtually everything it puts out. Almost all of it is the most appalling right wing propaganda trash designed to mislead.<br /><br />So the fusion of BBC and <i>the Scum</i> "news" is no surprise whatever. All the public needs to do is check the background and employment record of all editors, "journalists" and presenters. Only a few of them are of any worth. The rest of them are the kind of Winston Smith people who would have delighted Josef Goebbels.Alan Cliffordnoreply@blogger.com
