Haha I remember when the BBC “accidentally” mistranslated Musharaf saying “We require nuclear weapons for deterrence” to “God has commanded us to make the nuclear bomb”.
Actually now that I think about it, the BBC lies alot. Like not even bias, I mean full fledged misinformation sometimes.
State apparatus
But, but, but … the propaganda bot here keeps telling us the BBC is Leftwing.
How could they be Leftwing and have a bias in favour of ethno-Fascists, the farthest Far-Right there is?
Surely the BBC employees are wrong!!!
So many people conflate BBC’s news with its comedies
The shows tend to be leftwing. The news does shit like this: —

Water accused of being wet.
Right or wrong, I used to consider BBC to be one of the less biased news sources, at least compared to U.S. news outlets.
Well, they may still be less biased comparatively, but that is a very low bar.
