A Rant



I see that Breitbart London has really gone to town on that report about illegal immigrants at Calais on the Victoria Derbyshire programme which we looked at the other day, making strong allegations of pro-immigration bias against Victoria Derbyshire:
BBC HOST ‘TRIES TO MAKE MIGRANT CRIMINALS INTO HEROES’ IN DOCUMENTARY
...BBC host Victoria Derbyshire engages in a public relations effort on behalf of the Calais migrants..
...the 12 minute-long video (below) follows Derbyshire and her trucker hosts as she tries to convince them....
...“They carry knives,” the truckers explain, while Derbyshire encourages them to have “sympathy” for them.
Unfortunately for Breitbart's reputation, it wasn't Victoria Derbyshire doing the reporting. It was Catrin Nye (who doesn't look one bit like Victoria Derbyshire).

If you're going to seriously slag someone off you should at least make sure you've got the right person first.

Why don't people check before publishing such pieces? 

Rant over.

  1. Breitbart London is a sad, pale imitation of its US parent. No actual newsmaking, just a place for Delingpole and his mates to rant about whatever strikes them. Now that Delingpole and Yiannopoulos are gone, and Raheem is back in charge, maybe that will change. But I doubt it.
