The BBC has taken the unusual step of denying that a guest on a Newsnight Brexit debate who spoke in favour of Theresa May’s European Union withdrawal deal was “a paid actor”, after conspiracy theories about her real identity swirled on social media.
Ms Hayter who acts as an extra in film and television under her middle name Marina, was among members of the public invited to be part of a panel on the flagship news programme on 26 November.
Some on Twitter appeared to suggest Ms Hayter’s use of two names and decision to wear a clerical collar showed she had been deployed in a deceptive manner.
he previously appeared on another panel discussion on the show on 23 November. On that occasion she also wore a clerical collar.

Yet they are constantly accused of left-wing bias by Tories and other right of centre groups.
So which is it?
In 1982, the second major study of this phenomenon was undertaken;[2] pro-Palestinian students and pro-Israeli students at Stanford University were shown the same news filmstrips pertaining to the then-recent Sabra and Shatila massacre of Palestinian refugees by Christian Lebanese militia fighters abetted by the Israeli army in Beirut during the Lebanese Civil War. On a number of objective measures, both sides found that these identical news clips were slanted in favor of the other side. Pro-Israeli students reported seeing more anti-Israel references and fewer favorable references to Israel in the news report and pro-Palestinian students reported seeing more anti-Palestinian references, and so on. Both sides said a neutral observer would have a more negative view of their side from viewing the clips, and that the media would have excused the other side where it blamed their side. en.wikipedia.org...

They're slightly to the right on politics at the moment, Kussenberg is nowhere near as biased as Corbyn claims but she did break the BBC matrixes that are intended to give impartial equal airtime during elections. Generally they're pretty central with a bias to whoever is in power at the time.
Government mouthpeice claims are a bit of a stretch given all the outing of the Iraq War lies, paedophillia in parliament, MPs expenses, general weekly expose of some government corruption.
