This is truly extraordinary.
The BBC has admitted it used the ‘wrong’ footage of Jeremy Corbyn in its reporting of his reply to the government budget yesterday:
But the BBC only admitted the ‘mistake’ after it was pointed out by social media users that Jeremy Corbyn was wearing a different coloured tie:

How is it even possible for supposedly professional journalists to use a clip from a completely different budget?
The BBC has announced their ‘error’ on Twitter but of course, it is too late now, as millions of people will not have seen the opposition’s real reply to yesterday’s important budget announcement.
This ‘mistake’ from the BBC comes just days after it was revealed the BBC is using a supposedly independent fact-checking organisation which is funded by the government, big business and even the Daily Mail:
BBC use ‘independent’ organisation funded by Daily Mail and UK government as fact checkers

Bet a Tory did it intentionally. Back in the 60’s I had a friend at “the beeb” who used to run the teleprompter slowly to make Ted Heath look like a cretin. Political activists of all colours are always playing games.

Their budget is set by the Govt who have been influencing the BBC’s news since the last time they got in under threat of increasing cuts. Does anyone genuinely believe the Tories under their paymaster Murdoch are going to allow independent news broadcasting?

It’s more that the Beeb didn’t correct the problem in any meaningful way that is the problem really.

Vote tory ? you don’t want to ? voting tory is siding with the lords ,you are either a member of mememe and justice for self or you vote for the poorer workers and justice for them . BBc is as biased for this gov as they were for the past 3 govs..its just people now know it..,however they did used to host a variety of good ‘gotcha’ shows and news as well.
A full retracted headlining news the same day prior to them being told ‘or’ people are right and ‘its biased’ not paranoid. Which did you see ? because you are making me vote labour with your biased …oh hang on ,no your not lol, I vote Labour or Green or Indie because of my moral compass ,never ever ever ever ever under any circumstance would I ever vote for the lords..know why ? they don’t need any help ,whereas others for many reasons do (no matter how anybody wants to dress that up with blame)..hence BBc helping those selfish stupid Tory gits mistake or not is just very NEW labour and 2 seconds of thought is all thats needed
Still helping anyone who spewed the amount of vile hatred towards a PM democratic nominee by private owned MSN did (again mistake or not) an unacceptable because ‘look’ it’s a public money taking.org or ‘disgrace’ if you want to coin it.
Love is blindess 🙂

oh ps..to all ..we have a monarchy so no real democracy ,more a benevolence ,so lords,people,people,lords is the forever game here. You are choosing a moral side when you vote not actually directing the country more directing where the surplus goes.
When labour (or affiliated .co’s) blow too much or go all out commie (as they like to rant) the lords lose status and wealth of averice, hence they kick back to keep the British way. That ‘is’ our democracy and people should realize that centre is the near perfect here not the way off..ie Blairs first term after Thatchers mental right was perfect,but as they drifted further right (corrupted by money) so did the tories of today
Corby is leading a centre left with too much left (him) but the lies and twisting bitterness of todays selfish is beyond anything I have ever read or heard or witnessed in this country this side of the 20th century
We should always vote any side out after 4 years regardless of ‘yourselves’ thats true democracy in a monarchy .
