    If this was about actual critisism of the BBC and them not living up to actual journalistic standards, then i could agree with this.

    But we know its not, its because they disagree with his picture of reality. So a shitty chinese propagabda source with blatantly lower journalistic standards would be seen as a legitimate source, simply for being anti-west or pro China.

      This is the issue. They never give actual criticism of the reporting or the reporters or go into any depth on the bias. By being an English language outlet not based in Russia/China they are, ipso facto, a lying tabloid rag. It’s an absurd cyclical logic.
