This perfectly demonstrates the pernicious nature of BBC two-sidism.
It almost always benefits the side with the most power.
In this case that's the side which is murdering peaceful protesters in the street, on camera, and then lying about it

The BBC coverage is absolutely terrible.
It leads on "sharply contested narratives"
It has a dramatic skew to the US government
It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue

Did I really hear that Trump-supporting ex-Ambassador say on @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social with regard to Trump’s disgusting slur on non-American NATO vets:
“They shouldn’t take offence. Move on.”
Yes, she said that.
These people think they can say and do anything. They think they’re untouchable.

Where are the poppy patriots? Why are they completely silent on this grotesque insult to our armed forces and specifically the 2,000 UK service and civilian personnel who were injured and the 457 who died in Afghanistan?
