  1. At what point can the bbc in Scotchlandshire be classified as an agent of a foreign power & the Scottish Government can refuse to have any further dealings with them?

  2. Thanks for highlighting this (again!) BBC Scotland have been biased for a long time now and it’s still going on, despite their laughable talk about fighting misinformation. They’re the biggest source of disinformation!

  4. Well done you Prof Robertson .

    As this is what they, the BBC need more of.

    However I fear that they , the BBC, like a Leopard, will not change their spots but then why should they be allowed to go unscathed in broadcasting a succession of lies with no backlash from the viewers.

    Especially from the likes of someone as clueless as Robert Jenrick who , if elected as the next new Tory leader , will only put the final nail in their , Tories, political coffin.

    So I also note via MSM Monitor Twitter account that he tweeted this:

    “The BBC Executive Complaints Unit has upheld a complaint against Good Morning Scotland after Laura Maxwell told listeners that Anas Sarwar wanted the two child benefit cap scrapped immediately. The claim was completely false”

    MSM included in his tweet a picture of the complaint to the BBC and also their outcome on this complaint.

    The BBC ECU stated that a “listener complained this was inaccurate” (as in what Laura Maxwell had stated as being Sarwar position on wanting the two child cap to be scrapped immediately) , as they , the BBC, confirmed that Sarwar had actually said “removing the two child cap could not be done until the financial situation improved”.

    Apparently this had “breached the BBC’s standards of accuracy” which of course, we on here , know to be something of a regular occurrence with BBC Reporting Scotland and also via their other programmes, like BBC Radio GMS .

    Indeed often this very blog, and indeed this very article “Fake News complaint” , verifies it to be true as to their regular bad habit in presenting their version of fake news as being the truth.

    Plus MSM Monitor also tweeted another tweet , together with a video of BBC Radio GMS, BBC Reporting Scotland and also their BBC Scottish WM correspondent David Porter, that showed them all spreading this fake news in what they were saying was Sarwar’s supposed stance on the two child cap .

    That turned out to be false.

    As identified and concluded by the ECU at the BBC .

    Where the outcome of the listeners’ complaint was acknowledged and so upheld as being a ‘error’ (falsehood) promoted by BBC Scotland.

    MSM’s second tweet on this stated:

    “The complaint upheld by the BBC Editorial Complaints Unit suggests the false broadcast about Sarwar’s stance on the two child benefit cap was a one-off. It wasn’t. It was part of a sustained campaign of disinformation by BBC Scotland to present Sarwar as standing up to Starmer”

    So as MSM Monitor tweeted , the BBC Editorial Complaints Unit obviously failed to note all of the many false declarations made on this, as in it being a “sustained campaign of disinformation ” by the various BBC Scotland news teams.

    So the real question here is did they as employees individually decide to state this false news on Sarwar or was this a editorial decision via whoever produces these news programmes.

    (Yes I know most of them only read the news and so do not write it. However that does not let them off the hook as they, in their questions to politicians during interviews, behave in different ways dependent on who they are interviewing and which party they , the politician, is from).

    Strange is it not that they all made the same mistake and that mistake was one that favoured Sarwar and so presented him in a positive light.

    Of course this is the kind of fake news from the BBC that wins elections for political parties like the Labour party.

    As it is promoting a false representation of someone when the reality is far removed from what is being presented.

    So is this then another ‘error’ that will go onto the growing list in the BBC’s ‘Corrections and clarifications’ page only to be seen and noted by those members of the public who are aware of it’s existence on the BBC website.

  5. Thanks for reporting this. Love your content.

    Perhaps you could do a quick look timeline of media bias on all your reporting. I dont have time to read everything you post, but whenever I see something i am not convinced by, sure enough you have dug deeper and found either exposed the lie or some very conflicting information.

    From the bottom of my hear I thank you for that!
