Blanche didn’t ask Maxwell a single question about any of these emails. Then he moved her to Club Fed where she is served individual meals and has a puppy and numerous other special privileges while she prepares her clemency petition. WHY?

Exactly. It is not humanly possible not to editorialize as an anchor, if you are filling an indeterminate period of 'dead air'. Also, procedurally inevitable that you will give platform to questionable pundits, whose nonsense goes unchallenged, as the gallery barks instructions in your ear. Obvious.
Strongly agree with the case that Alex made for this. Also - the News 24 presenters all look as if they HATE the gig. (Rolling news works on a station like LBC because the public join in the conversation and the presenters are allowed to have opinions).

That's just it. You don't. You are THE public broadcaster. No other body shares your mission. Why add to the noise?
The BBC has an opportunity to say "you've heard all the breathless gossip - tune in at 6pm for the facts". To bring light rather than heat.

Pressure is building. We’re now on the cusp of major tax reform. But the powerful few, who refuse to pay their way are spreading fear, division & lies to stop us. Will you tip the scales in the favour of the many and help us win a fairer economy?
Help us win wealth taxes
We’re at a crucial moment to win an economy for the many. But we need your help to take on the greedy super-rich few trying to stop us.

I just walked out of federal court where I pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charges against me.
I will continue to stand up to authoritarianism and call this out for what it is: a political prosecution.

100% this, something so odd about the fact that he was seen as this insanely well connected guy for years, like that one man everyone powerful knew and liked for some reason, when we're yet to see evidence of even one trace of like, basic wit, warmth or charm in those emails
Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????

Let me be clear—House Democrats have been the ones pushing to get the Epstein files out. We’ve been calling for truth and transparency while Republicans drag their feet and play politics. But thanks to House Democrats, the truth’s coming out, one way or another.
