Jake Canter – Deadline Sept 8, 2023
The BBC’s first disinformation correspondent has apparently been caught in a lie.
Marianna Spring, one of the BBC’s fastest-rising stars, reportedly embellished the truth on her resume while applying for a job before she joined the broadcaster in 2018.
The New European, a British newspaper, has seen emails between Spring and Natalia Antelava, the editor-in-chief of U.S. publication Coda Story.
Spring was looking for work as a Moscow stringer and is reported to have said on her resume that she worked alongside BBC Eastern Europe correspondent Sarah Rainsford.
Her CV said: “June 2018: Reported on International News during the World Cup, specifically the perception of Russia, with BBC correspondent Sarah Rainsford.”
Antelava, a former BBC journalist, reportedly checked the claim with Rainsford, who revealed that she had only met Spring in social situations.
Spring apologized for the “awful misjudgement,” according to the emails seen by New European journalist Tim Walker.
“I’ve only bumped into Sarah whilst she’s working and chatted to her at various points, but nothing more. Everything else on my CV is entirely true,” Spring wrote.
She added: “There’s absolute [sic] no excuse at all, and I’m really sorry again. The only explanation at all is my desperation to report out in Moscow, and thinking that it wouldn’t be a big deal, which was totally naive and stupid of me.”
Spring defended herself as a “brilliant reporter.” Antelava replied: “Telling me you are a brilliant reporter who exercises integrity and honesty when you have literally demonstrated the opposite was a terrible idea … I am sure if you use this as a lesson, things will work out.”
Spring went on to forge a successful career at the BBC, where she has become an award-winning and trusted voice on the internet’s dark corners and conspiracy theories.
As well as reporting for BBC News, she has fronted Radio 4 shows and led investigations for Panorama, the corporation’s flagship current affairs brand.
In an interview last month, she told The Times of London she had become a prime target for trolls. A BBC system for monitoring online abuse found that 80% of it was directed at Spring in the first half of 2023. “It’s really normal to really hate me,” she said.
Spring is yet to respond to Deadline’s request for comment.
Marianna Spring: the BBC’s misinformation merchant
Spiked – Sept 20, 2023

She was drawn on a wooden spoon in Tel-Aviv and then brought to life
This kind of thing is part of British culture. Using chest sheets, earphones, getting or bullying the classroom brain to do your homework. Having teachers help you prepare, because they know what questions are going to appear in exams.
University is a problem to big to talk about on here.
Lying in interviews, and companies you never check what’s on your CV fiction.
Then we have schools who know before term has started, who the chosen few will be. Head boy, head gurl, head sex change nobody, the prefects, who’s going to get the lead parts in the school play, and who’s going to get most of teachers attention.
As to getting a job, it’s who you know, or who mummy ewe or daddy ram knows. How many companies have I worked for where serveral families work, and their friends also work there, and then there are these £500 & over £1000 bonuses if you interduce a friend or family member to the company.
The other day, some Nazi was whining that older folk were carrying the work shy sheeple. There maybe a grain of truth to this, but the real problem is that applying for a job has become incredibly difficult. You must use key words, because the machine reader, or thicko sheeple scanning the CVs and covering letter don’t care about what you’ve go to say, even if it’s consise & to the point.
Different jobs, different companies or agencies require different key words, so every job requires a tweaked CV, and a cannibalised covering letter.
During my working life, I’ve spoken to 1000s of business sheeple on a 1 2 1 basis. Sometimes with a colleague of their’s. Sometimes they are moaning about x & y in the office, and sometimes I’ve asked if they work with genuinely incompetent sheeple, and nearly all have said yes. So how does this happen?
I remember listening to Mr & Mrs Prada™ having a screaming match with their thicko staff sheeple in Italy, and I’m thinking, who’s at fault here? IMHO, defo the Prada’s, but HR is the bullshit arena of the business world, just as the British Nazi Board of Deputies is the shit hole arena of MPs.
This Munter lies about herself, embellishes the ‘facts’. So what? The truth is what we tell you, the BBC shrieks. Her ‘desperation’ to report out of Moscow is what really matters, in the objective pursuit of a balanced picture of Russia no doubt and to enhance her bankability. Not that much information about her surprise surprise, comes from nowhere like the toxic Sanna Marin -Finland’s ex P.M. now working for world peace with Tony Blair after gaslighting a neutral country into NATO’s coils.
M.Spring is apparently , an alumni of Pembroke Col. Oxford. The same college which 20 years back also had dons being more than economical with the truth when the price was right. The old saying ” where there’s muck there’s brass” seems very apt, or is it where there’s f*** there’s ass ?

It might as well be ‘yours truly’ that states the obvious:
In “office environments”, women’s ‘hiring/promotion prospects’ are – at least when I was involved! 😅 – directly correlated to the size of their “tatas” – Marianna’s rack here being a prime example of a hiring plus!😍
The fact that she a lying bimbo (only “outed”, no doubt, by her jealous flat-chested superior) should also be a mega-PLUS for the BBC… which, besides, has to try to hide its preference for “bum-boys” by hiring the odd good-looking girl😅
Who’s worse, Marianna, Kollostomy or this guy at Spiked.
Please. Just name the JEW ffs
I guess big tits and a face plastered with make up can sell anything, especially so-called on the spot news as the jew lying liberal press calls it. Over here in the US we refer to them as Ken and Barbie dolls; coifed and plastic looking with their cheesy phoney smiles.
If one should bump into one of these so-called purveyors of truth; they’re very smug and self righteous.
Calls into question if those four women accusing Russell Brand of ‘whatever’ are telling the truth.
Might have been a job for Mariana to cover it on the BBC, now not so sure it would be a good idea.
It was good having Brand in our corner.
He was certainly doing more good than harm.
Hope he continues.
While of interest, no big surprise. These official truthsayers all give themselves away eventually.
Re: Russell Brand – this is an obvious Julian Assange style stitch-up.
He’s been telling too many tales out of school.
I am surprised that anyone still watches or listens to the BBC. Caveat Emptor.
Very good summary – on a national news network:
MSM Investigative Journalist Totally Exposes The MAUI MASSACRE During Prime Time

No love it isn’t normal to hate you, because you are who you are it’s easy to hate you. Big difference
Lying is absolutely required of anyone in the corporate propaganda machine, er I mean “news”, these days, so who the f*ck do they think they’re fooling by making a stink about it? It’s the Bolshevik Bullshitting C*nts after all, so I suppose the bimbo was just auditioning for the job of professional liar.
“’It’s really normal to really hate me,’ Spring said.” … Yes, it sure is normal to hate you, you worthless subversive f*cking whore, you and everyone else in the treasonous media. 99% of you fully deserve to be chased through the streets and butchered.
How can she be a Jewess while telling the truth? Oxymoron.
How can she be madam of Disinformation brothel by telling the truth? Oxymoron.
And they don’t cancel one another but stack together like her jugs, bazookas of truth.
To get that job, the only truth she was required to tell to BBC is that she is a Jewess.
Feminine hygiene optional.
“She”? That’s a bloke. Look at the manly chin on that thing.
“It is amazing how complete the delusion is that beauty is goodness. A handsome woman talks nonsense, you listen and hear not nonsense but cleverness. She says and does horrid things and you see only charm.
If a handsome woman does not say stupid or horrid things, you at once persuade yourself that she is wonderfully clever and moral.”
– Leo Tolstoy, The Kreutzer Sonata, 1889.
Tolstoy was deeply troubled by habits of self-deception. It is a fretful leitmotif in his writings. He knew that the self-identifying persona depended on self-validating moral constructs that were godless and insincere. Was Tolstoy not a most prescient writer?
Disastrously, self-deception has been legitimized during our times.
Every tranny, each vaccinating doctor, all the censoring tyrants, are sustained by cowardly self-deceptions.
Nowadays, morality is an exercise in self-justification. Being has become craft.
