Recalling Newsnight's coverage, Maitlis said:

"It might take our producers five minutes to find 60 economists who feared Brexit and five hours to find a sole voice who espoused it.

"But by the time we went on air we simply had one of each; we presented this unequal effort to our audience as balance. It wasn't."

Brexit. The gift that keeps on giving.

So the impartiality of the BBC is actually a farce, as pro-Brexit economists were given false equivalence with the many times higher number of anti-Brexit economists! So Robbie Gibb the former head of communications at 10 Downing St was appointed to the board of the BBC at the behest of Boris Johnson to ensure impartiality while that fuckwit Dorries was told to actively threaten them with losing the license fee! Something evil lies at the heart of this!
