Fox News Reports: "A group of history scholars is questioning whether viewers should trust the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), accusing the national broadcaster of presenting a slanted view of the nation's history."
"The BBC, of all institutions, should never accept as fact arguments put forward by politically motivated campaigners. Sadly, it appears that tendentious and provocative arguments seem to be given preference, and they have often been relayed without proper concern for accuracy," a spokesperson for History Reclaimed told the Daily Telegraph of the organization's report, which accused the BBC of "rewriting British history to promote a woke agenda."
"The report, entitled "Can we trust the BBC with our history?," was released Wednesday and was authored by scholars from some of the United Kingdom's top universities, including Oxford and Cambridge universities. It details numerous examples of what the report called a "consistent bias" in programming related to British history, which the report said was mostly painted in a negative light."

The BBC is the UK's version of CNN. The only exception is that the relationship between the BBC and the UK government is explicit, while that between the CNN and the US government is secret. Churchill was no saint. That's no secret. He drank, smoked, was a tad racist, certainly a classist, but he was the exact right person for the job at hand at the time. He did what needed to be done without apology. You can't rewrite the facts of his amazing accomplishment. A lesser man may have faltered, as Chamberlain did before him.
