Because of the information asymmetry between netizens and the media, the media in the Internet age has the ability to “manipulate the truth”. In this paper, Halliday’s Systemic Functional Grammar theory is used to analyze the BBC report on Dr. Li Wenliang, to be specific, from transitivity, mood and person pronoun. After the exploration of the news report from these three perspectives, this thesis attempts to analyze the attitude of BBC, it will help readers find out the discourse features of English political news and then avoid being manipulated by English ideologies. More importantly, the analysis of news report will improve people’s language awareness, enable the public to have their own independent and critical views on certain discourse or events and enjoy public discourse such as news reports.  \nREVIEW OF LITERATURE  \nHalliday (1973) pointed out that language is structured through the meanings it realize, which is composed of three kinds of meanings: interpersonal meaning, ideational  \nmeaning and textual meaning. In terms of these three kinds of meanings, he divided the functions of language into three meta-functions: interpersonal meta-function-ideational meta-function and textual meta-function. These three meta-functions form the core of Systemic-Functional Grammar, which in Halliday’ s view, consists of systemic grammar and functional grammar. The former aims to explain the internal relations in language as a system network, or meaning potential. The latter aims to reveal that language is a means of social interaction (Halliday, 1994). Huang Guowen (2001) put forward that Halliday’ s Systemic-Functional Grammar provides the theoretical basis for analyse both on spoken and written discourse, which means this theory plays an important role in discourse analysis.  \nDATA COLLECTION  \nThe corpus used in this paper comes from a news report titled “Li Wenliang: Coronavirus Killings Chinese Whistler Blower Doctor” published by BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) on February 8, 2020. This news is a report about the doctor Li Wenliang’s incident.
