'"Debate"? Not a thing we do.'

Mike Wendling, head of  BBC Trending and the BBC's Disinformation Unit, takes note:

We Are Freedom: I have a great idea for a debate on BBC News. Mike Wendling and Marianna Spring vs Dr Anthony Hinton and Prof Carl Heneghan. Let’s settle “the science” once and for all. Come on BBC “disinformation” journalists. You can make this happen… #BBCMassDebate

Mike Wendling: Weird idea that impartial journalists should go around "debating" people with clear partisan views. Interview perhaps but "debate"? Not a thing we do. But I get it, lots of people screaming for blood. Noted.
