The BBC can retrieve something from this mess (and show US broadcasters what a spine is) by sending Donald Trump a four letter response: “See you in court!” www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...
The four-word message the BBC should send Trump about his $1bn lawsuit
The corporation must show it will not be cowed, unlike American broadcast media, and call the president’s bluff

It will never not be hilarious that over 300 insurrectionists were turned in by their ex-wives. These women are true patriots.

The official investigation into the January 6 riots concluded Trump “summoned the mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack" in an effort to halt the peaceful transfer of power.
No billion dollar lawsuit can change reality.
The BBC should call this convicted criminal’s bluff.

I do not understand the Labour government's reticence over defending the BBC and social media regulation. Their long-term survival basically depends on it. Their cowardice in the face of it may be the single thing they are most remembered for.

I don't think there's any chance of a meaningful challenge to Starmer right now, just some hopeful stirring it in the press. This doesn't mean he's off the hook. Reform lite has been a disaster & he needs to ask why the Greens are articulating Labour values & policies better than Labour are.

Looks like the BBC has lost the Kremlin 👀
That renowned and respected lover of truth and journalistic integrity.... THE KREMLIN.... has stepped up to defend Trump in his battle against the BBC.
SO that's Farage, Netanyahu, Putin, and Boris Johnson...

These kinds of things happened two decades ago under the last Republican president. A lot of people made a lot of short term money. Then it all came crashing down and his successor had to clean up a huge mess. Here we go again.

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
