some people now don't believe the news if they report what they just saw with their own two eyes. putin and trump tell their countrymen to not believe things, and many people fall for it. any news article to do with muslims that doesn't condemn them is 'fake news' etc etc. people are brainwashed.
panorama has always been a controversial programme. it has its own team of investigative reporters and no doubt sometimes gets it wrong.

I’ve never liked the BBC as I feel they manipulate the news and put their own spin on things at time, to suit their agenda. Just wondering if anyone else has seen it and what their views on it are.

TR uses the same tactics that are used against him and I think the left wing especially the extreme left need serious exposure. Everyone seems to know how dangerous the right wing are but not a jot about the left.
I enjoyed the documentary but found that this will end up going down the road of both sides just calling each other racist, sexist, classist etc. etc. Until one or the other plants a headbutt.
In my opinion this not only exposes the BBC as a complete waste money that people are unlawfully threatened and harassed to pay but also as a very dangerous and poisonous organisation that employs very strange self-serving individuals.
Moreover, this documentary shows the folly of political ideology and left/right wing paradigm. If you look from a certain angle you can see they're actually the same as each other!
