I'm honestly glad that this sorry state of affairs is cause for you to openly question a major source of your media consumption.

I'd really encourage you to not stop there and discover for yourself, by your own words, the plethora of "democracy-shaking stories" you have indeed missed from the BBC.

Personally I use the British Brain-washing Corporation (and other news outlets) as a way of orientating what narratives are being spun to the public, and what narratives not to pay attention to.
