Reader’s comment: Balance, BBC-style

I understand the BBC has finally covered agent Cob, but using their standard tactic of only getting someone on to deny it, without the balancing person to assert it.
If you are aware of this tactic you will find much (Socialist) denies accusation and (Conservative) accused of type story coverage. In the former you get a brief mention of the accusation and in the latter a brief denial.

Keep an eye/ear out for it.
