The BBC (Beeb) knocks Orwellian 'doublespeak' out of the ballpark when it comes to their 'correspondents' (commissars?) habit of manipulating the facts, take this comment for example:
And Daniel Hannan on unflattering facts:
One of my constituents once complained to the Beeb about a report on the repression of Mexico’s indigenous peoples, in which the government was labelled right-wing. The governing party, he pointed out, was a member of the Socialist International and, again, the give-away was in its name: Institutional Revolutionary Party. The BBC’s response was priceless. Yes, it accepted that the party was socialist, “but what our correspondent was trying to get across was that it is authoritarian.”
