The BBC's senior leadership resigning en masse over one dodgy edit in one programme, simply because the right wing press demands it, tells you everything you need to know about where the power really lies in that relationship

Be clear, the American far right are coming for British democracy.

Glad that someone has finally taken responsibility for the appalling assault on democracy that was the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Slightly confused that it's the Director-General of the BBC, but what do I know?

The Panorama edit was clumsy. But the facts remain. It was a violent insurrection to upend a democratic vote. Looking at the wild outrage here, we’d be forgiven for thinking Jan 6th never happened. In terms of bias, this is off the scale worse. With Farage delighting in the damage.

I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC.

The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together.

Sue Musk!… …and Vance,… And.Trump!
Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

Just wtf is this?

I can’t think of many more unifying causes than standing up for the BBC against this absurd threat from Trump.

And Farage will be on his side, snivelling along like the school-bully-errand-boy that he is. Traitorous little bastard.

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten.

"I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

The last war, the crushing of human rights, is why British and other Europeans established the European Convention on Human Rights. Nothing to do with how the UK deals with immigrants who are proven to be here illegally, in small boats or whatever. They can be deported. IF ITS THE RIGHT THING TO DO

Left: BBC News, "President Trump threatening to sue the BBC"

Right: That time Keir Starmer said, "There's so much to celebrate in that special relationship between our two countries"

The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

🎯 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

What you’re witnessing is a populist assault on the BBC.

This is not an institutional scandal in any meaningful sense of the word. It is an attack on public service broadcasting.

On this day in history, November 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall fell — a moment that marked not just the end of a barrier, but the beginning of the fall of the Soviet Union.

All empires eventually fall. So will the russian empire.

The BBC has bigger impartiality problems than its coverage of Trump
It is the BBC’s entire governance structure–rather than individual stories–that should cause most concern
