Summary
Former BBC Middle East correspondent Tim Llewellyn, reviewing Rebecca Gordon-Nesbitt's book "Killing Corbynism: Zionism's War on Socialism," accuses the BBC of being a "prime mover" in what he describes as the 'Labour antisemitism' scam that helped oust Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader. Llewellyn claims the BBC generated a "tidal wave of lies and misreporting" about Corbyn's party and the left, which went unchallenged by mainstream journalists and was subsequently parroted as fact.
