I fear we are seeing in the UK what has become abundantly clear in the US: for all their power and privilege, elites and institutions are absolute cowards in the face of right-wing authoritarianism. Weak, weak, weak, as Tony Blair once said

The Telegraph routinely spreads myths about a range of subjects - especially climate change.

Trump's January 6th speech analysed by the BBC: it is an anti-democratic speech, telling a crowd lies about a stolen election; it calls for people to "fight like hell" & calls for "peaceful and patriotic" protest (against the legitimate winner of a democratic election)

The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.
