Beeb ‘Liar’ BBC’s chief fact-checker accused of lying

[PwoperNaughtyButNot]

One for them likes of Capital Man, Pickle and joyo - you love to be told what to think by your government controlled media outlets. What do you make of this then? Unbelievable hypocrisy for that fact checker or , it’s ok to lie if you are on the side of truth. I can already guess what you will choose. BEEB ‘LIAR’ BBC’s chief fact-checker Marianna Spring accused of lying on CV by falsely claiming to have worked with Beeb colleague Holly Christodoulou Published: 9:57, 8 Sep 2023 THE BBC's chief fact-checker is at the centre of claims she lied about her experience on her CV. Marianna Spring, who works as the broadcaster's disinformation correspondent, reportedly gave misleading information to secure work. She claimed she worked alongside BBC correspondent Sarah Rainsford covering the "perception" of Russia during the 2018 World Cup, The New European reports. Marianna allegedly wrote on her CV: "June 2018: Reported on International News during the World Cup, specifically the perception of Russia, with BBC correspondent Sarah Rainsford." The journalist made the apparent claim five years ago while trying to get work as a freelancer in Moscow for US-based news site Coda Story. According to the publication, the website's editor-in-chief Natalia Antelava, who previously worked for the BBC, criticised Marianna after checking out the supposed connection. Marianna then reportedly sent an email apologising for her "awful misjudgment" and said she was led by her "desperation" for the job. She also said she was a "brilliant journalist" but admitted she was "naive and stupid", it is reported. But Natalia responded: "Telling me you are a brilliant reporter who exercises integrity and honesty when you have literally demonstrated the opposite was a terrible idea." Marianna became the BBC's disinformation and social media correspondent in August last year. She had worked for Panorama and has her own BBC podcast called Marianna In Conspiracyland. The journalist is also part of the BBC verify team, which undertakes fact-checking to avoid misinformation. The BBC did not wish to comment when approached by The Sun Online.

It's laughable that Farage was banging on about how the handling of Brexit made it fail. Like he was ever going to get a say. Only way that bloke is gonna get near office if he dresses as a Cauliflower and goes up.as the only candidate against Laurence Fox.

Capitol They definitely gives Fritzl a run for his money in the lack of self awareness stakes. There's an argument to say he's worse, as the Jam Roll is clearly away with the fairies, whereas They is just an outright angry narcissist. "I'm fucking you up, I'm calling you a cսnt" I mean, blimey. You want to get yourself over to Warsaw They son, Fritzl can give you the 60 Euro per hour spiel and turn you from an angry into a 'cool people' narcissist. At least your blood pressure will improve slightly.

Capitol Man 4:37 Tue Sep 12 I've never applied for a job at the BBC. HTH

[gph]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Orgreave#Media_coverage This is NEVER brought up by rightists, even though the BBC has even admitted it (calling it something a lot weaker than a lie, though)

[Leavemyarcelona]

Capitalmong Showing your hypocrisy again.

[Capitol Man]

If you sit there nodding along while you read the daily mail or the Sun or GB news then of course anything even remotely left of you is going to seem bias. The BBC does have high standards and a strong global reputation that many would like to destroy - but having said that, it should absolutely be held to account. Someone lying on a couple of elements of a CV for a job with another company five years ago is not leaving much dirt on it is it, especially if they now look into it.

[Leavemyarcelona]

Unless it is coming from a left wing Nazi right?

Anybody and anything that employed anyone who told a lie needs shutting down. That's the British electorate and The Spectator gone, and it only needed Boris to do it...

Lee Trundle 3:25 Tue Sep 12 Re: Beeb ‘Liar’ BBC’s chief fact-checker accused of lying Such bitterness - lost a job to some black lesbian and you can't admit she was better than you? And it's your thread is it? And did you actually come up with a point - don't be afraid that you'll look like a fucking idiot - be brave little man! And I know I cսnt you ladies off, that's the point. You seem to quite like it. But you're a rational bunch are you. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more extremist bunch anywhere. And this entire thread, it's stupid isn't it. Another pile on the BBC from a bunch of loons who don't like the fact that they are loons pointed out to them.

[Darlo Debs]

Well.i am also of the left Fo.....if we ever had cause to.meet I'd stand my round If that's any help.

[Fo the Communist]

As an oft-described 'leftie' I am happy to concede that in my experience 'leftists' are more often inclined to be more vindictive in their arguments, lacking in both self-awareness, and humour and, I'll add, less likely to stand their round.

People only ever bought the Sun for the sport - 100% abso-fucking-lutly true fact (FACT). As a businessman, Murdoch's job was to try to meet, not manage, his customers' expectations. If he didn't meet their expectations (not what you think their expectations should be) then they would simply take their custom elsewhere. If you've ever worked for the BBC then you'll know they hold their viewers and listeners in complete, condescending contempt, regarding every single one of them (no exceptions) as a moronic idiot who needs everything spelt out for them...on the simple understanding that if these people were actually smart and intelligent then they'd be working for the BBC themselves.

You waded into MY conversation, Capitol They. Your actions are the ones of a stalker. As I was suggesting, you lot lack any self-awareness. The proof is right there in front of you.

[Capitol Man]

Lee Trundle 10:23 Tue Sep 12 Re: Beeb ‘Liar’ BBC’s chief fact-checker accused of lying Ha ha ha - was it just a phase you were going through? Again Trundle, what's missing is any sort of point. What continues is your weird stalking. I have a lot of fun cunting off mugs like you, it's fun to see twats like you and big fat frank the racist twat bite, but you seem to miss the point - or rather you continue to not be able to make one. I'll cսnt you off, but if you had a brain in your head you'd see the point being made was this is not proportionate to the fully-fledged disinformation campaign going on in the Murdoch businesses, is not reflective on the BBC as a whole, bearing in mind it wasn't even the application to the BBC that contained this, and that there is at least an attempt to be have standards at the BBC. Now has it dawned on you twats that if you're the most right wing person of everyone you know, then everyone is going to appear left of you or have left wing bias to you? The BBC also get in the way of the Murdochs making more money, which he has always resented. Now, BBC may not be perfect, and it should be held to account when it errs, like any good news org. I mainly visit the site for sports fixtures and sports news, and it's written news is general short and to the point. Not really sure it's worth the head-slapping hysteria that many of you descend into when talking about it.

Self-awareness is a gauge of how well people see themselves. It isn’t about how you see them, Twundle. Maybe you believe they only see themselves well if you agree with what they see?

[Lee Trundle]

bruuuno 1:38 Tue Sep 12 They also seem to have little or no self-awareness.

[Hammer and Pickle]

Nothing more pathetic than a facade of righteousness; and I totally agree - you get it a lot on the Left.

[bruuuno]

You raise a good point pickle. I think the difference is that the types you mention probably act in similar ways but for different reasons. Rather than thinking they are righteous or good and therefore of a moral authority, I suspect they don’t care and just please themselves. Maybe the leftists (not all leftists obviously) are the same deep down but require a narrative of righteousness to empower them.

[Hammer and Pickle]

Isn’t that casting your lefty net a bit wide? I mean, you seem to have caught Boris Johnson, Donald Trump, Putin, Łavrov and most of the world’s populist abusers of public office as well. Or do you just approve of their lies because they talk your anti-lefty talk?

[bruuuno]

The scary thing about a lot of lefties is they don’t seem to consider there to be anything wrong with lying if it supports their cause. I get the sense that this attitude comes from a deep rooted assertion that they are ‘righteous’ so the odd lie here or there doesn’t matter in the scheme of things as they are good people. In fact out of the biggest narcissist cunts that I know , they are all pretty hardcore lefties. Funny that.

[Lily Hammer]

This lying so called journo’s apologists on here are displaying astonishing abilities of mental gymnastics in trying to defend her indefensible porkies. The BBC’s new Ministry of Truth simply has to sack her. I hope they don’t.

[Kaiser Zoso]

The BBC punts out it’s barely disguised propaganda under the guise of it being ‘news’, so what better than to have a proven liar conduct a sham ‘disinformation’ programme to back it up.
