If you are immersed in a culture outside of the UK, and check in on the current state of the BBC's reporting on it, you realise how poor it is. I am reminded of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Crichton#GellMannAmnes...

BBC Radio 4 is also sadly now a shadow of what it used to be.

I'm not quite convinced of how bad it has got. If you listen to only one thing them yes, mistakes will happen.

However I'm fairly close to dutch culture, and the explaining of Gert Wilders wasn't that bad. The first hand reporting of "the youth" seemed to be reasonable from my point of view.

But perhaps thats because I don't use the BBC as my only source? I dunno.
