On September 17, the Russian television network NTV, during its program Segodnia, incorrectly presented British doctor Robert Lefever as a political scientist.

During the report, Lefever said that the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) earned its living by serving the British government’s machine.

The report focused on a recent blacklist imposed by the Ukrainian government barring specified foreign journalists from working in Ukraine, which included three BBC journalists (since removed from the list  following public outcry).

Comments by Lefever, can be found from 7:38:

But Lefever is not a political scientist. He is a well-known British doctor who operates a clinic specializing in treating addiction and depression. This information is provided on his official website and Twitter account.
