Caution and veracity needed, but if substantiated then as a journalist who covered the conflict - including in Sarajevo - accountability is vital for those Bosnians who were victims and those who lost loved ones. This beggars belief. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Amongst all of this sorry episode of BBC mismanagement they are frozen from speaking the truth that on J6 Trump and his whole team stood by whilst the violence unfolded and said nothing. Didn't call for rioters to withdraw, didn't call for peace, his children literally stood by and partied.
Again - this hyperpartisan outfit paid tens of millions of dollars in defamation damages, due to its false pro-Trump claims about election voting machines. Extraordinary Gibbery to interview them
It’s already started - the BBC allows Newsmax boss to opine about bias, suggest some of the Jan 6 mob were merely innocent tourists visiting Congress, without pushback

President Trump has pointed to the cost of Walmart’s Thanksgiving meal bundle, which is roughly 25% less expensive this year than it was last year, as an example of the economy experiencing a “golden age.”
But the 2025 Thanksgiving bundle is also smaller than the 2024 package.

It’s still absolutely wild that the police raided her house like she was Walter White in a huge media event, then came out two weeks later and did a press conference publicly blaming Crown Office for non-specifically ruining their investigation, not granting them a search warrant at the first ask.
