Does anyone know why the BBC has not reported the news about

Braverman and her use of Nazi rhetoric when speaking to a Holocaust survivor.

Michele Mone and her fraud of tax payers money

Zahawi’s apparent tax evasion?

What has been so much more important, not to have had time to report these issues, very much in the public interest?

Oh I hadn’t thought to look at that.

I meant the news on BBC television really.

It's not exactly headlined, is it? Stuck in the Politics section where few venture. Money and Zahawi at least should have been front page news, cheating the country of public money.

Because the BBC are so politically correct and woke that they censor everything that could be classed as criticism of the current government. I never watch BBC news, only Sky and ITV.

I read about them on the main BBC news page, but they were not there long because they did not instantly become part of the '10 News stories Most Read'

Or in other words, no one could be bothered to read the items when they were on the front pages, so they were shunted to the special subject headings.

An item isn't news unless readers want to read it.

The Brexit Broadcasting Corporation has been very selective in its reporting since 2015.

I have heard about all three from the news, certainly on Radio 4 which qualifies as BBC, and on the website. Could not say definitively I heard it on BBC tv news, but as I rarely watch other news channels I think I heard it there also.

All the more reason to congratulate Fiona Bruce for presenting the IFS graph on Tory underfunding of the NHS last Question Time.

There are some of us who do not bother with television news. I rarely, watch it. Iinfinitely prefer radio news, specifically R4, plus BBC News online. I am looking for detailed news and consult the sub headings daily.

Most of all I read newspapers on both sides of the divide and nothing beats a newspaper for bringing to ones attention to all sorts of news and articlesnthat one would otherwise not think to look for

If you watched the BBC News Channel you would have heard about all those topics.

Channel 4 News is very comprehensively covering Tory (and the much rarer Labour) scandals, foreign policy, world events and much more and is worth watching. Unfortunately, most of the population don't watch it or BBC News, preferring game shows, soaps and other pabulum. Says a lot for the distribution of brains and the failures of education.
