I just came across this news story on the BBC site (UK mainstream/gov news) where it's upper hierarchy stated that fake news is a threat to democracy and that the BBC was going to lead the way around the world in somehow leading everyone to the truth! Haha.
I've taken the time to pull apart some of the denial in the claims being made.

The original story is here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-48948591

As always, you can find me on https://www.ureka.org and on all good websites that carry the Steem logo!

Wishing you well,

Thanks! I need to read/watch 1984 again, I suspect I won't be able to tell it apart from some parts of life at this point.

Yeah, I like to brush up on 1984, Brave new world, Fahrenheit 451, and a few others every year.

Absolutely!

Perceived bias from certain BBC programmes is not the same as Fake News / alternative facts that are prevelant in much of US broadcasting. You'll get a different slant on subjects like Brexit from different programmes. Try Fox news for 1 day and you'll see the difference.

BBC has been exposed numerous times outright lying on important topics - they are different to Fox, yes - they are more subtle.
