@BBC why not put up the excellent Panorama so that we can all judge its fairness for ourselves and not take Trumps word for it, or that of the organised right wing intent on destroying our public service media.

Murdoch press in full pursuit of the @BBC this fine morning. Can we step back and ask why the outrage? Could it be part of their sacred duty to destroy any semblance of public service in our media?

Could we just recognise the current attack on @BBC by the Telegraph, Johnson et al for what it is- not a complaint about inaccuracy or bias, but a full scale onslaught on the idea of public service media and the right of this country, to have a media not owned by far right billionaires.

Did you know there's a hellhole genre called "inspired by John Lewis Christmas ads AI-generated" where, presumably, people make their own saccharine nightmare fanfic ads but a) they're shit and b) they go on for 5 minutes

Sounds about right
I think the difference is that Goodhart thinks he’s being impartial and acting as a public intellectual… Goodwin is just preparing the way for the stormtroopers…

Please please please @BBC don’t make so much of Gaston coverage. It’s rock music. Rock musicians are rough on occasion. Not good but they’re not media moguls/archbishops/ legislators. Maybe British Lawyers fr Israel could find a sense of proportion?

terrific story from Jim Waterson.www.London centric.media/p/lime-ebike-story london-switch-cheaper-chinese-tyres?r=3cnw17
Did Lime switch to bike tyres ‘less suitable for London's roads’?
The company denies the change to cheaper Chinese tyres on its e-bikes was a cost-cutting measure, as more Londoners come forward with severe injuries.

Why on earth could the BBC not keep her?
Mishal Husain’s last day on #r4today this morning.
She’s the best of their presenters by far in my opinion. Capable of balance, & of rigorous, devastating interviews, without ever getting shrill, or hectoring & speaking over her interviewees.
A real loss for the BBC.
