I think this is a key point re. BBC coverage of Trump - the expectation from some on the Right that the BBC should shift the goalposts towards a Trumpian pov regardless of democratic norms.
But there's also flipside of this: overcorrection. The BBC has been trying desperately to show it *isn't* biased. There's obviously a notion there of "balance" which doesn't mean "neutral" or "objective", but trying to find a middle ground, or bothsidesing.
IL rightly condemns this example here:

The Prescott Splice. Incredible.
Judge for yourself: did the dossier accusing the BBC of doctoring a Trump quote…doctor a Trump quote?
Left: Donald Trump’s Jan 6th quote, as presented in the dossier that brought down two BBC bosses
Right: What Donald Trump actually said.

Latest from the arbiter of truth we're apparently obliged to pander to.
With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”

For as many years as anyone been counting two or more inmates been mistakenly released from British prisons most weeks. Record does not make it acceptable. System needs to be fixed. It does leave me asking why BBC now gripped by end-of-civilisation hysteria heard on Radio 4 Today programme.
