Media Bias May Be Boris Johnsons Biggest Adversary

Much of the broadcast media ostensibly required to be impartial has set itself the goal of derailing both Boris and Brexit.

Its increasingly clear that these broadcasters have abandoned the spirit of the objectivity rules under which they operate.

Just this past September, broadcaster John Humphrys retired after 32 years on the BBCs airwaves with a fierce blast at the institutional liberal bias he found there.

After 52 percent of voters stunningly opted to leave the European Union, pro-Remain elites decided that the public hadnt been educated properly.

Ever since the Brexit referendum, the major broadcasters have gone into overdrive to denigrate those who want to honor its democratic decision and boost those who want a second vote which, in the view of the Labor partys manifesto, should include allowing a ballot for nationals from other European Union countries living in Britain.

Part of that means targeting Prime Minister Johnson, who began his career as a journalist before being elected to Parliament in 2001 at the age of 37. Last week, Channel 4s news division had to apologize after its social-media accounts claimed that Johnson had discussed whether people of color should be allowed into Britain; he actually had referred to people of talent.

As recently as last August, Dorothy Byrne, its head of news and current affairs, declared Prime Minister Johnson a known liar and compared his media strategy to that of Vladimir Putin.

Last month, Channel 4 then insisted that there should be a prime-time debate on how to address the planets climate emergency.

But those are probably some of the same people who never thought that Dan Rather would be forced to leave CBS or that Fox News would dwarf the ratings of other cable TV outlets or that Donald Trump would amass 67 million Twitter followers.
