Quite right.
Those 'actions' by MoD include threatening a young female journalist outside a court house and demanding that she hand over her notes. Notes that proved MoD and the prosecution had lied in court, and that the wrong party was is in the dock. (Sean Cunningham case, 2018).
I would be very surprised if Ms Burley is not aware of this, and similar examples. My impression is that MoD is not highly thought of in the media, who are fed up of the continual bare-faced lies.
