I've watched the doctored video myself. The CEO resigning is "nothing" compared to the accountability they should be held to for propaganda they constantly push, and specifically to the extreme bias in this case.

If it was incompetence, one could argue that nothing should happen, perhaps an apology or some useless corporate article. But it was malice, and to deny that is (imo) the real issue here. (I'm not saying you're doing it, I'm just saying some people do/did it)

I'm curious if you think people outside US/Western Europe (like me; greetings from EE[we've seen such edits in our communist period, fyi]) who disagree with the assessment that the BBC is "centrist with a slight leftward skew" are far-right with obvious biases? And if so, on what grounds? Most people who say BBC is propaganda(like me) don't consume MSM at all(or, in the case of US, stick to Fox or something). To say all alternative media I consume(which you'd be correct in assuming) is "skewing far-right" is to, ironically, behave like the ones you're pointing to. It's also incorrect: alternative media is infinitely more diverse today, even after all the reshuffling/restructuring in the past 10-12 months(which culled a decent amount of the left-leaning alternative media) than MSM.
