    Ah right! You get an entire workforce of stroppy journos to follow an order to support X and dump on Y. Easy! You do realise you sound crackers, Peter? 🤷🏻‍♂️

    It seems they did. This kind of thing was normal on state TV in Soviet Russia. Should not happen in a democracy like Britain. The BBC urgently needs to explain itself.

    Well we ran the whole exchange in so if the suggestion is that BBC News producers were told to edit something out then I didn't get the memo. Alternative theory: the correspondent had to summarise 4 leader Q&As in a 3 minute report?

    Please do convince me that *this* isn’t bias... what was the purpose of the sound edit if it wasn’t to make it appear BJ was being applauded without the cynical laughs?

    There is a head to head debate coming presented by with and and don't forget starts his interviews with the party leaders on Monday night.

    What I want to see is, moderate a debate with and with no audience and all the questions coming from the leaders to each other. only role is to correct any false statements. That would be the only valuable political TV debate.

    Deliberate untruth is very hard to prove. Our job is to probe for truths and untruths. But we are not judge and jury. It’s for the people to decide and they don’t need our guidance. Just our efforts. I’m very happy with David Jordan’s sound sense.

    Extraordinarily the BBC says it will no longer allow journalists to call somebody a liar because it is for audiences to judge motive. Does this include people convicted of telling lies? Or people whose deliberate untruth can be proven?
