A fresh scandal erupts at the BBC, and might explain allegations of ‘bias’ on Question Time
The BBC is facing a fresh scandal, as an audience producer for its Question Time show was revealed to have links to far-right groups Britain First and the English Defence League. Viewers who have felt the show favours right-wing panellists and audience members feel this goes some way to vindicating their argument.
Alison Fuller and the Far Right
Alison Fuller is an audience producer for BBC Question Time. As a 2010 article for leading press industry magazine journalism.co.uk put it:
Every week audience producer Alison Fuller has to select the audience and, depending on the city they are in, this can mean considering more than 4,000 applications. This process involves checking the background of every applicant against their political affiliations, campaign involvements, advertising intentions, and many other factors.
But it has also been revealed that Alison Fuller may have sympathies with Britain’s far-right. The woman responsible for ensuring a diverse and representative audience at BBC Question Time has been sharing Britain First memes on Facebook.
