Dorothy Byrne describes PM as a liar and says broadcasters must call out his falsehoods
Boris Johnson is a “known liar” who is copying Vladimir Putin’s approach to the media, according to Channel 4’s head of news and current affairs, who called on broadcasters to aggressively challenge the prime minister’s falsehoods.
Dorothy Byrne said Johnson’s shift towards publishing his own videos on
Facebook rather than giving sit-down interviews to journalists reminded her of the
Russian president, “who also likes to talk directly to the nation”.
