Boris Johnson Threatens Bbc

The Guardian: “Downing Street is threatening the future of the BBC by insisting it is seriously considering decriminalising non-payment of the licence fee, while boycotting Radio 4’s Today programme over the broadcaster’s supposed anti-Tory bias.” “No 10 pulled ministers from Saturday’s edition of the Today programme and sources said it intended to ‘withdraw engagement’ from the show in future.” “The row is seen as an ominous sign of Boris Johnson’s willingness to bypass independent scrutiny and follows criticism of the BBC’s election coverage from both left and right.”
