A GLOBAL propaganda expert has called out the BBC for its “horrifying” decision to have a spy boss edit its flagship Today programme on Radio 4.
Dr Emma L Briant further warned that the decision to give the head of GCHQ – Sir Jeremy Fleming – editorial control of the news broadcast “will actually support Russia” in its goal of undermining trust in Western media organisations.
Fleming leads the UK spy operation and reports directly to the Foreign Secretary, Tory MP James Cleverly.
