THE BBC’s new Verify unit produced and promoted a documentary on conspiracy theory activists based on a flawed survey by King’s College London (KCL), which the academics now admit claimed there were “significantly more protestors than can be the case in reality.”
While KCL now says its survey does not represent “reality,” BBC Verify, which is supposedly committed to battling “disinformation,” does not think it should offer any correction or worry about the quality of its work.
The BBC heavily promoted its documentary Marianna in Conspiracyland as a programme, podcast and a BBC website article fronted by its “disinformation specialist,” Marianna Spring. The KCL survey got national newspaper coverage on the back of the BBC push.
