‘Neutral’ Sources and the Evidence Against Trump

Michael Prescott’s dossier, accusing the BBC of systemic bias, was described by the Telegraph as an “internal” memo. But it was not commissioned by the BBC. It was authored by Prescott, unsolicited, and then sent to the corporation after he finished his stint as an external advisor.

Among the organisations he cited in the memo to support his claims – presented as independent, expert organisations – were History Reclaimed and UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI).

History Reclaimed describes itself as “an independent group of scholars” defending history from “political manipulation”.
