Hey!
Remember “Who Will Fact Check the Fact Checkers? I Will!!!,” where I shone the spotlight of shame on Marianna Spring, the BBC’s “specialist disinformation correspondent” who was recently busted for having lied about her own work history on her CV?
And remember my recent #SolutionsWatch episode on The Newspaper Revolution, wherein I picked apart “The Light: Inside the UK’s conspiracy theory newspaper that shares violence and hate,” a Spring-penned hit piece on Darren Nesbit of The Light newspaper?
And remember when, in the course of dissecting Spring’s article, I mused that I should write a parody of her style, demonstrating how mindless and risible that flavour of establishment hatchet job “journalism” really is?
Well, this week I present to you exactly that: a hit piece about the BBC in the style of the BBC’s own hit pieces! Enjoy!
(NOTE: ALL RIDICULOUS GRAMMATICAL CONSTRUCTIONS, POMPOUS JOURNALISTIC SYNTAX AND AWKWARD, CLUNKY TURNS OF PHRASE HAVE BEEN COPIED DIRECTLY FROM SPRING’S PROPAGANDA PIECE. BLAME HER, NOT ME!)
