BBC abandons all pretence of impartiality with a fake anti-Tory meme on Newsnight

Newsnight on Thursday 14th November 2019 began with a video the BBC had faked, Prime Minister Boris Johnson unveiling to a round of applause and flashing press cameras a wall-mounted plaque saying "A & E waiting times worst on record". The accuracy of the statement is not the issue. That a fake video, presumably produced by the BBC themselves, was broadcast on a BBC programme, is - the implication is that there is pride, even a sense of triumphalism, on the part of the Tories in the matter of A & E waiting times. This is clearly fake, and produced with the clear intention of misleading and manipulating viewers into sharing this toxic sense of Tory inhumanity. The BBC should be neither producing fake video memes nor seeking to promote political messages - they are paid by the taxpayer and required to be impartial. Please take action.
