The “System” running scared: BBC Lies, Propaganda, Bias continues…

His camp claims the BBC lied to them about the purpose and content of the programme and has also complained about factual inaccuracies contained in the documentary.

It is demanding an apology from the broadcaster over its handling of the programme, which was given the title Jeremy Corbyn: Labour’s Earthquake and shown on BBC One last Monday.

A source in Mr Corbyn’s campaign accused the BBC of conducting “a complete hatchet job” on Mr Corbyn.

Panorama producers apparently told them they were filming for a documentary about the Labour leadership campaign as a whole, including all four candidates, but instead the programme turned out to be all about the one candidate, as the title of the show suggests, and only included a few brief clips of his three rivals.

His campaign team said they have sent a copy of Mr Corbyn’s diary to prove he did not attend a conference in Cairo that advocated attacks on British and American troops, as was stated by the programme’s presenter, John Ware.

The diary proves he attended events in his Islington constituency, his campaign claims. However the BBC said they had yet to receive a copy of it.

The programme investigated the rise of Mr Corbyn and showed clips from a number of his rallies over the summer. It also included a number of warnings from high profile Blairite figures warning that a Corbyn victory could reignite the divisions of Labour’s past and bring back the “thuggery and intimidation” of the militant left.

It attracted hundreds of complaints from viewers who claimed it was biased against Mr Corbyn and who accused the BBC of trying to persuade undecided voters not to vote for him, less than three days before the deadline for voting closed.
