We are a long way off from when the news was actual news, not a breathy, gossipy rumour mill. But I can’t remember them being as poor as they’ve been the past 18 months

every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

But if the BBC could claim, say, a trillion dollars on the original arbitrary basis, we could all have licence fee rebates for the last 40 years and free forever. 😉

This refers to Leon Black?. Whilst he was known for his career at Apollo Asset Management, he started his career at Drexel Burnham Lambert, he became MD until 1990
Do you know who also worked at Drexel Burnham Lambert early in his career between 1982 and 1986? Nigel Farage.

Imagine a scenario where the de facto thought leader in the Republican party and a current senator, the Republican Senate leader, and the Republican House leader all marched into the Oval office and told the President to resign or be impeached. That happened in 1974 because those men had integrity.

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.

Waking up to news 🚨 that 6 (!) Roman statues were stolen from Syria’s National Museum, in Damascus, on Monday. No details on which statues yet, but I had a few pics below from the GRB gallery with the famed Al-Lat Athena. Heartbreaking news.

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.
He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

The Telegraph had to correct its multiple lies about "illegal immigrants" in London at least three separate times.
It takes an obscene amount of hubris to lecture the BBC when you have The Telegraph’s record on truth-telling.
Some of the paper’s errors this year are so bad they’re almost laughable 👇🏻

A study earlier this month found that America’s more fragmented media landscape — particularly the takeoff of cable news — accounts for fully one third of the increase in cultural conflict in the US since the year 2000.

Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments:
One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.
