A BBC show wrongly claimed Euan Blair’s firm won a gov ID contract, traced to a viral post; the network apologized and banned social media-only sourcing.
A false claim on the BBC’s Have I Got News For You that Euan Blair’s company won a government ID card contract was traced to a viral social media post with nearly three million views.
Producer Jimmy Mulville said younger "digital native" staff relied on the post’s popularity without verifying it through traditional sources.
The BBC apologized, removed the episode from iPlayer, reuploaded a corrected version, and presenter Victoria Coren Mitchell issued a public correction.
The incident led to a new rule banning stories sourced solely from social media, highlighting risks of misinformation in fast-paced news environments.
