BBC budget coverage compared to Soviet state propaganda as ‘super Sunak’ gets messiah treatment

The broadcaster portrayed the chancellor as Superman last year in footage that had to be eventually deleted.

BBC coverage of Rishi Sunak ahead of today’s budget has been compared to a former state-owned Soviet Union newspaper after he was given the messiah treatment.

Tweeting ahead of landmark announcements in the House of Commons today the Beeb echoed its ‘super Sunak’ portrayal of the chancellor last year which eventually had to be deleted.

Just a little reminder that last year the BBC portrayed Rishi Sunak as actual Superman, which was so ludicrously ARE-YOU-ACTUALLY-HIGH??? indefensible they ended up having to delete itpic.twitter.com/ZDtJ8edeev https://t.co/zZrG8TyrNj

But seemingly unperturbed they posted a similar post today, leading to parallels being struck with former Soviet Union paper Pravda, which means ‘Truth’ in English.

Sunak is expected to use Wednesday’s Budget to pledge to continue to help businesses and individuals through the “challenging months ahead – and beyond”.

He is expected to say that the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, which has protected more than 11 million jobs since its inception, will remain in place until the end of September.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
