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.

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?

I need this. Don't take this from me.
I need a 2 part video series, where Sadiq Khan visits NYC, and he and Zohran Mamdani take the subway to Mets-Willets to watch a Mets game, and talk about hopeful things.
Then in part 2, Zohran visits London. They take the Tube to watch Arsenal play Liverpool.

I keep seeing journalism described as an "ecosystem" and I guess that tracks because it's undergoing an extinction crisis caused by billionaires, too.

think that realistically I would have always been deeply, deeply worried about the rise of far-right ideas in public discourse but I truly never expected this level of blithe elite complacency, turns out I do feel worried but mostly I feel like I'm going insane, watching them do.......nothing at all
Myself I feel powerless to stop this fascist rise precisely because it feels like all our institutions are just rolling over to it.

“To replace the actual story of America with a kind of jingoistic propaganda, that says to me that you don’t actually love your country as it is,” Adam Serwer says at #TAF25. "What you’re loyal to is an idea of yourself, not an idea of the country.”

A.I. is popular because it gives you the experience of being a boss: you get to give annoyingly specific instructions about how to do something you don't actually know how to do yourself, and then claim credit for the end result.
