Rusbridger as usual hit the nail squarely on the head.
Starmer needs to get involved seriously and quickly - without his intervention much will be lost playing exactly on the hands of the "populists"

It's not the time to criticize the BBC, but the quality of reporting offered by The Bunker on a regular basis deserves noting.
Here Andrew Harrison's chatty interview approach is a masterclass in how to broadcast effectively, the BBC would do well to take note.

Legislation creates a Federal Tax Escrow Account in the state treasury. Instead of employers forwarding collected federal taxes to Washington, they send them to the state. The state holds the money in escrow. A legislative panel reviews federal spending for constitutional compliance.

Trump just claimed, on Veterans Day, that "we have a 92% approval rating." He said "we've taken it up from 38%" under the previous administration.
This guy is absolutely delusional! The sad part is, MAGA will parrot this lie.

Well, fine, let’s get rid of the BBC… but what, if anything, then replaces it? Murdoch? The same siren voices said ‘let’s get the EU out of our lives’ and now want nothing to do with international organisations and law. Easy to deploy the wrecking ball. So much harder to rebuild.

Thanks to Trump, I'm learning just how stupid I am! Groceries-- never heard of them. Magnets, either! And when an item that cost $5 last year now costs $9, that's a reduction in price! Wow. I've learned math all wrong.

This also exposes the huge lie that is Brexit. If you remember everyone that already felt left behind in this country in 2016 voted for Brexit as they were promised change, remember more money for the NHS etc. the complete opposite has happened. Farage ,Tories and Labour all lied to us.

This is full of mildly astonishing revelations about right-wing influence at the BBC, but foremost among them is the fact that he was advised that writing for the New Statesman was effectively unacceptable but doing so for the Spectator was fine - indeed, advisable. I am flabbergasted.
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.
