It claims to be the voice of impartial news in this country.

Any particular reason why there is not a single mention in it
(website,
radio, TV, etc) of the story that was on the front page of pretty much
every newspaper in the country over the weekend about Corbyn & Co's
involvement (or more) with Eastern Bloc spies during the cold war?

Just wondering...

It's in the website on "front pages from the press". I can only see it
on 2
front pages - Telegraph & Mail.

We live in a democracy the last time I checked.

The leader of the opposition is accused of very serious matters, backed
by personal testimonies (possibly by a fantasist), and relevant
documents, and the BBC don't think that it was relevant to comment on it
at all? Some democracy they must believe in over there...

It *was* discussed on The Papers

But it doesn't make it to The News, because as an unconfirmed report it
doesn't meet the threshold for being "News". The Beeb having previously
been criticized for reporting unconfirmed stories that turned out to be
wrong have corrected that mistake, and here you are now expecting the
poor practice again.)


Strange then how they did report the allegations of sexual assault by
certain female actresses/celebrities against certain Hollywood men. None
offered any supporting evidence when they were reported to the BBC, and
many were denied by those accused.

The BBC rules on credibility look at number of sources

If it's only one you don't run it

If it's dozens, you do
