Whole fucking thing makes me sick to my stomach. An abject fucking liar, a man who lies as easily as he fucking breathes, threatening an organisation which strives for truthfulness. And plastic patriots like the Mail and Farage urging him on. Jackels.

This is even more stark when you stop and work out 'hmm, where did the content on most social media *come from*?'
Finally, a bit of a reality check from our 2024 election book (out soon!) for everyone hyperventilating about collapsing public trust in the BBC - free to air TV (mostly the BBC) is still the most widely consumed and widely trusted source of news - blows print, online & social media out of the water

If we're talking about bias, why do BBC politics programmes, from Politics Live to the Laura Kuennsberg Show, still always begin with a look at the newspaper front pages, which are overwhelmingly biased in one direction. Helps frame the entire news agenda and debate in their favour

True story: Schumer got spanked…
And it’s not even subtle. Ending the shutdown handed Trump a win, gutted Democrats’ leverage, and left millions still waiting for relief.
It was a surrender.

This is at least good news given all the other shit happening.
The challenge to the court's 2015 ruling came from Kim Davis, the former Kentucky clerk who refused to issue same-sex licenses after the court's Obergefell v. Hodges decision, which recognized a constitutional right to same-sex marriage. n.pr/47yOyEH

Tim Kaine and the others bought the lie that Republicans would negotiate on extending the ACA subsidies. They won’t.
Dems got played, Schumer failed to keep his caucus together, and the American people got nothing.

Earlier this year The Telegraph shared misleading statistics about London's migrant population and faced no serious sanctions from IPSO. Accuracy is fundamental to our media landscape and the Government must act to ensure that newspapers are subject to standards of ethics and accountability. 2/2
The Telegraph’s attacks on the BBC are breathtakingly hypocritical
The Telegraph holds the BBC to standards they fail to meet themselves, the hypocrisy speaks for itself.

When asked about the SCOTUS case, he essentially said the tariff money is already gone, so where, exactly, will he be pulling that from?
We should definitely elect the man who has bankrupted six companies and now an entire country for a 3rd term.

It’s already started - the BBC allows Newsmax boss to opine about bias, suggest some of the Jan 6 mob were merely innocent tourists visiting Congress, without pushback

Excellent. A must read.
A superb article by Lewis Goodall on the background to the current crisis within the BBC
The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.

I love the NHS but it’s completely absurd to be prescribed fairly urgent meds at A&E only to find that the hospital pharmacy is *shut on a Sunday* which then requires you to drive around multiple supermarket pharmacy counters in vain search of this elusive medicine before everything shuts at 4pm
