Hardly anything makes it to air on the BBC unless it's been checked, double checked and confirmed and on the odd occasion something does slip through the net - The BBC will own it immediately.
It's a gimmick at best. If everything is 'Verified Live; then why does it only stamp three hours of programming with the logo? Bonkers.
You know that, and I know that - but the BBC and all MSM are under attack by those who don’t believe it.
So BBC Verify is their way to explain that they’re wrong, and underline their procedures. Well it should be…
But… they seem to have gone about it all wrong. They’re just slapping the logo on seemingly random things, and having a three hour programme called Verified Live, which is mostly just the normal news, is just madness.
Instead… it should be a regular slot, outside of prime time, which goes under the bonnet of BBC News and explains how they go about checking, where they get the information from and examples of fake news that didn’t make it to air.
