More Prescott

The full dossier of spurned BBC editorial advisor Michael Prescott, now made available by the Daily Telegraph, is irony-rich. 

If another news organisation had edited a Trump speech in a misleading way, the warriors of Verify would have been on it. Now Mr Prescott reveals that Verify themselves barked up a wrong tree in claiming ethnic minorities were systematically being charged more for car insurance. In another muffed story, all BBC outlets went big on a dodgy TUC report on job insecurity if it had been Verified. Another strand of the Prescott report says BBC "push notifications" were more selective than the news agenda in general - avoiding 'difficult' stories about immigration, and remorsely on Russell Brand. 

He suggests the centralisation of reporters driven through under Jonathan Munro has made a robust approach to gender issue reporting more difficult, with requests for story coverage often refused. 

This won't go away.
