Green Party MEP accuses BBC of bias over party broadcast

These days the BBC can’t seem to get anything right. On top of regularly riling Brexit-ers with ‘EU bias’, the corporation has been accused by some — including former BBC pol ed Nick Robinson — of showing anti-Corbyn bias.

Now they can add a new one to their list; anti-Green Party bias. Yes, Green Party MEP Molly Scott Cato has made the peculiar claim after the BBC failed to publish an article on her party’s new video broadcast:

The video features young children pretending to be today’s politicians — arguing that while other parties are childish, the Green Party are not.

As amusing as the video may be, Cato appears to barking up the wrong tree. While BBC hacks there may just be a wee bit busy with the Panama Papers, they have still managed to run two pieces this week on the Green Party — covering their policies:

In fact, Mr S suspects that Cato ought to tread carefully.
