A glorious example of the “fair and balanced” BBC journalism we should aspire to.

Seemingly competing with the BBC in the information space may see you branded and verified as “far right” conspiracy theorists.

Self acclaimed “Far right” pundits at The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters whilst remaining light hearted and entertaining seem a bit miffed by this and expose how ridiculous and insecure the no longer trusted BBC has become.

Of course presentation of news that the BBC fail to report on and criticism of the official and often false narrative is not a far right monopoly.

Comically if we follow the genius logic of the BBC Verify chart, avowed socialists Tony and Martin would be tarred with the far right brush of the BBC.
