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?

Michael Prescott's report makes vital points about the importance of being accurate, and also how difficult that is. For instance, he describes himself as having been Political Editor of the Sunday Times for 10 years, which is not what the Guardian reported when he left the job.

Big presence on the beaches of Normandy in 1944 too.
From Donald Trump's Roundtable on Antifa just now —
"Antifa has been around in various iterations for almost 100 years in some instances, going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany."

Everyone can set aside partisanship, psychologizing, pathologizing, whatever, and—I would hope—still see that it’s incredibly dangerous for a political leader to be this disconnected from the real conditions in the country.
Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

Wherein—once again, not for the first time, and not for the last—I talk about how the heinous murder of Charlie Kirk is being exploited by authoritarians in much the same way Nazi party chief propagandist Joseph Goebbels exploited the death of brownshirt Horst Wessel in 1930.
Our friend @gtconway.bsky.social is back in THE BACK ROOM! We discuss the Jimmy Kimmel free speech fiasco, the Charlie Kirk assassination and aftermath, and the intensifying Epstein scandal. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...

Of all the unpleasant people in right-wing media, the perpetually snarling Laura Ingraham is one of the worst.
Her brother claims she was damaged by an alcoholic father who collected Nazi memorabilia. During the AIDS crisis, she liked to out gay students at Dartmouth in the school newspaper.

Luis Leon, an 82 year old Chilean, was granted asylum in 1987 because he was tortured by the Pinochet regime. He lost his wallet and went to ICE get a replacement green card. ICE took him into custody and deported him to Guatemala.

Why would Pam Bondi pressure the FBI to instruct approximately 1,000 personnel to scour through approximately 100,000 Epstein-related records in order to “flag" any records in which Donald Trump was mentioned?
Why on earth would she do that?

Tom Wharton was described in 1926 as 'The Happiest Man in Sheffield.'
It's probably as well he doesn't know about the current state of his beloved Wednesday.
