BBC’s Headline On Conservative Student Beaten To Death Sparks Massive Backlash
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) sparked massive backlash on Tuesday for labeling a conservative student beaten to death by a mob a “far-right student” in a recently published headline.
Authorities charged a group of nine far-left militants with fatally beating 23-year-old Quentin Deranque in Lyon, France, during a protest. The BBC published the headline, “Nine arrested in France over death of far-right student,” which sparked outrage among conservatives online.
FAR LEFT murder a young man!
Fixed it for you.
Defund the BBC!

The far left kill a student and you still
1.Refuse to call them what they are, and
2.Take one last swipe at their dead victim.This isn’t reporting. It’s narrative management.
Defund the BBC.

The article, written by Hugh Schofield, stated that Deranque was beaten at a protest held by so-called “far-right feminists” at the Institute of Political Studies. The suspects who were detained are reportedly linked to a far-left militant group called La Jeune Garde (Young Guard), according to the BBC. Among those arrested was a parliamentary assistant from the far-left France Unbowed (LFI) party.
In ten words @BBCNews manages five examples of disinformation.
Let me give it a go:
Nine far-left thugs beat student to death for protecting women.
