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.

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?

Good for Mark Damazer standing up for the BBC and the thousands of extremely conscientious people who work for it. We lose it at our peril.

Good luck even trying to be objective in today’s heavily polarised environment. If people become accustomed to bias anything other than that won’t do.

Thread. Shouldn’t need saying but apparently it does.
I hear there’s an argument going on in the UK right now about whether or not Donald Trump incited the crowds to violence around January 6th. Apparently the BBC in a documentary showed edits of his speech that misrepresented what he said.
