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.

A great night for democracy. Wonderful also to see younger candidates elected, a new generation of hope.
Voters up and down the East Coast delivered Democrats a sweep on Tuesday, electing candidates across the party's ideological spectrum in a vivid show of discontent with President Donald Trump nearly a year into his second term.

A great day for the golden rule of political analysis: when the right wins it is a resounding ideological victory that humiliates the left and when the left wins it is a precarious fluke that will surely end up humiliating the left. Conservatives are power’s landlords and the left merely tenants
