We have already established that Marianna Trench is a
fathomless abyss of deception. She has told lies about activists in the
conspirasphere specifically intended to ruin their reputation and hobble their
livelihoods. Now she has become a victim of her own practice, fact-checking. In
2018 she applied to be a correspondent in Russia
for a magazine with the cringeworthy and sinister title of The New European. She sent her CV to the editor, Natalia Antelava,
claiming she had been a colleague of another BBC "Woman!" Sarah
Rainsford. This was not true and Mariana later apologized for lying about it.
The BBC have not yet commented. Source: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12493713/BBCs-disinformation-correspondent-chief-fact-checker-Marianna-Spring-accused-lying-CV-falsely-claiming-worked-Beeb-journalist-applying-job-Moscow.html.
Discovering discrepancies in the backgrounds of major media propaganda figures
is not unusual. Last year Nick Pope was accused of stolen valour. He has always
styled himself as the head of "Britain 's
UFO project" and was dubbed "the real Fox Mulder". Philip Mantle
has claimed that Pope's real position was far more junior and functionary than
he lets on. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfecJCDR9Sk.
I don't know specifically if these allegations against Nick are true; I have
not taken a strong interest in the issue. However, if they are, in my view he
is less likely to be a mere Walter Mitty than somebody for whom his outward
occupation at the MoD was an undercover one. His real job was working for
another organization; one whose name also begins with the letter M. I suspect
something similar is going on with Marianna. Somebody who is obviously as
intelligent as her and also with a lot of experience in high flying journalism
recruitment practices would not make a blunder like that accidentally. She
perhaps was told to by the people really giving her her orders.

This is funny considering who it was that caught 'bending the truth' on her CV. However 'name dropping' and embellishing the extent of a working relationship to enhance a CV is hardly newsworthy other than it being Marianna. She also acknowledged and apologised which is more than a few have done in similar lines of work recently (Dan Wotton)

Statistically 50% of people in the UK lie on their CV so I expect that's most of the journalists at the Daily M(f)ail and a good few hospital porters...

No harm done compared to say claiming you were experienced and qualified in a role you were applying for but found not to be.
Perhaps, but if she had caught Richard D Hall lying on his CV in a similar way, would she have shown him the same generosity?
