I'm not about to go up against Joshua Rozenberg on legal analysis, but his assessment on Radio 4 right now seems a bit odd. First, BBC player *isn't* available in Florida, is it? That's why you need a vpn to watch the Beeb there.

“Trump has managed to cow huge swathes of America’s institutional media, despite the supposed protections the First Amendment offers. Thanks to his friendly relationship with tech CEOs, he has huge sway over online media, too. The bully pulpit has never been more powerful than under Trump.”

"The edit was a mistake, it was clearly misjudged, but the idea it's an example of institutional bias against Trump is absurd."

@maitlis.bsky.social, @jonsopel1.bsky.social and @lewisgoodall.com unpack the seismic reaction to the BBC’s edit error - including Trump putting a target on their backs.

“If the papers keep saying the BBC is lying to you, that it’s biased, people start believing it.”

Has the BBC’s Trump edit error been blown out of proportion because of deeper motivations, asks @maitlis.bsky.social.

"Working at the BBC, I felt that there was a strong awareness to be checking potential liberal left biases – and very few from the other direction," says Lewis Goodall.

Memo leaks claim the BBC has been captured by left wing politics. What's going on?

🎯 Davey is spot on. "We can have criticism of the BBC, but within that, we need to recognise how valuable an institution it is [and how] precious to our country. And that's one of the reasons why people like President Trump and Nigel Farage, want to undermine the BBC." 👏🏽~AA

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.

He’s a Tory?😳

He was ex chair of Hammersmith & Fulham Conservative Party?
