Ambrose Evans-Pritchard (born 7 December 1957) is an English journalist who holds the position of international business editor of the Daily Telegraph.
[3] He originally intended to name the book The Secret History of the Clinton Conspiracy, in homage to the similarly titled exposure of the private lives of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian and his wife Theodora by the sixth-century historian Procopius, but was prevented from doing so by Regnery.
Evans-Pritchard aired his dissatisfaction with press coverage of the issue while discussing the 2022 BBC Radio Four programme The Coming Storm, which analysed the circumstances surrounding the alleged conspiracy at length.
[7] In a Telegraph article published shortly after the programme was aired, he jibed at its portrayal of him as a "Sorcerer's Apprentice" who wilfully nourished conspiracy theories, and condemned it for refusing to acknowledge that it was "the failure of the co-opted White House press corps and those on the FBI beat – or, in some cases, their editors – to investigate and report serial misconduct in the early 1990s that fed mistrust of establishment media, leaving the field open for talk radio and the emerging anarchy of the web".
The programme's unbalanced treatment, he went on to argue, is a revealing insight into "the mental universe of the BBC, a taxpayer-funded institution accused by many of chronic ideological bias in breach of its charter.
