Rating 5 Stars To Counteract All The Russian Bots Rating It 1 Star And Calling It Western Propaganda Despite The BBC Being One Of The Best Unbiased News Sources... Maybe The Russians Should Actually Provide Proof Next Time They Accuse Someone Of Something
★☆☆☆☆Andrew G· Sep 9, 2022
'Is that true or did you hear it on the BBC?' The BBC is a criminal organization and this is the ultimate source of propaganda and misinformation. Read the books about the BBC by David Sedgwick to find the real truth about this bunch of treacherous conspirators.

Don't use the BBC for our news. I'm from the UK and Russia this news channel is corrupt. BBC is run by child abuse supporters. They only tell lies. Needs shutting down. Owned by bias manipulating billionaires.
