BBC v WE MEDIA BoJo no laughing matter

Let's recall how another Johnson, Dwayne, took to his Insta to correct a made-up, damaging story in the Star rather than deal with IPSO.

In this case it's Boris Johnson - laughed at by a live TV election debate when he answered a question on the importance of truth, but not according to the BBC's later news report on its own show.

Is that evidence of bias? Very debatable, but the BBC was forced to admit poor judgement after a clip of the original audience response went viral. So, an active audience, not OfCom or the BBC's own editorial board, forced the Beeb to apologise for its misleading coverage.
