On Thursday, CNN International and PBS aired a segment in which Christiane Amanpour and her guests fear mongered about the collapse of the United Kingdom at the hands of Prime Minister Boris Johnson as well as the end of “a really great renaissance” in Britain.

Margaret MacMillan, a professor at Oxford University, stoked fears that the U.K.’s newest Prime Minister could lead to the complete breakup of the union as we know it:

I mean, Britain is very badly fractured. I mean, there's a real possibility that the United Kingdom will break up. That Scotland will now decide or the voters of Scotland will decide that they want independence. There is talk, which I never thought I’d hear in my lifetime, in Northern Ireland of possibly reuniting with the South and the Welsh, I think, are not happy being left alone with — with an English dominated union. So I think — you know, I think it's unlikely, but it is quite possible, certainly possible that United Kingdom will break up…

The notion that Boris Johnson would cause the dissolve of the U.K. is laughable at best, but it does show the media’s rabid eagerness to portray him in the same negative light at President Trump. It was only Johnson’s first day on the job, but for MacMillan, he already had single handedly led the way to the fall of the United Kingdom.

Later in the segment, New York Times writer-at-large Sarah Lyall remarked about how the Brexit movement was actually propelled by anti-Muslim and anti-“outsider” sentiment, rather than protecting the British economy. She then went on to state that Brexit has killed “a really great renaissance”:

I think it's one of the things that the Brexit campaign played on very, very effectively three years ago. I mean, they were talking about Europe, and Europeans coming in and taking British jobs, et cetera, but a lot of people in the country actually took it to mean foreigners in general. A lot of people voted for Brexit because they just don't like foreigners. They don’t want people who don’t speak English flooding in their country. They especially don't like Muslim refugees, or any refugees at all, and there was a big confusion between those two things, you know, what do we mean when we speak about Europe and outsiders? And I've been really shocked. I’ve lived in London for a long time and London was the most extraordinarily tolerant, diverse, interesting, outward looking, vibrant city, and especially with the Chunnel and all the back and forth with Europe, it seemed like a really great renaissance of openness where Britain was part of a much bigger thing than itself. It’s such a small country, and to sort of go back to being a little island seemed antithetical to what happened the whole time I had lived here.

This display is a stark reminder that the permeation of liberal bias isn’t limited to American media. Consumers of the news around the world need to view their respective outlets with a healthy amount of skepticism.
