    Brits Are Going After Propagandists - BBC ITV 4

    Brits have had it with propaganda parading as news and it looks like they are going after the sources.

    Anti-vaccine protesters occupied the headquarters of ITV News and Channel 4 News in London on Monday afternoon, the latest in a series of actions aimed at the media.

    Jon Snow, the Channel 4 News presenter, was chased into one of the building's side entrances by conspiracy theorists shouting at him.

    Livestream footage showed hundreds of protesters shouting scientifically unsupported claims about the Covid-19 vaccine programme and blaming the media for promoting so-called vaccine passports, which they view as incompatible with British values.

    After marching from King's Cross station to ITN's Gray's Inn Road headquarters, protesters were met by two uniformed police officers guarding the building's revolving doors. However, they were immediately let through an emergency exit, apparently by a supporter who was already inside the building.

    The protesters were then stranded in the building's reception, separated by a glass wall from ITN journalists stuck inside their offices, with both groups filming each other. Eventually, police reinforcements arrived to clear the building.

    Although the majority of the British public has now had a Covid-19 vaccine, and the UK has one of the highest uptake rates in the world, the persistent nature of anti-vaccine protests has caused particular concern for executives in the news industry.

    They are struggling to work out how to protect their journalists from harassment both online and in person, especially following an incident involving the BBC Newsnight political editor, Nick Watt, outside Downing Street.
