And nobody with any clout will pull them up on this. You will not get senior journalists or ministers explaining how their colleagues and dinner party pals have not written an amazing article or made a stunning podcast but have done actual harm and can’t see it

A radio programme like the Shipping Forecast but it’s called Bin Day and it just reads out every single council in the country’s bin schedule

The BBC, both as a radio broadcaster, and a TV broadcaster, didn’t start out doing news at all. News is the upstart department. Its job is to act as a national fireplace. And that’s properly vital now, more than ever.
I reckon a shared national popular culture is just as important (if not more important) than a fact based, impartial news service for liberal democracy to work.

"Doing something outside" does not make it "performative" and I will die on this hill if enough people are there to watch me dying.

Also completely ignores that any positive or neutral coverage of anything trans (review of What It Feels Like For A Girl, etc) has to have a shoehorned comment from Maya Forstater or Sex Matters, for some reason
There’s a deeper trick here. He calls respectful coverage of trans lives “bias,” then demands “balance” by platforming anti-trans voices (ignoring that BBC policy won’t allow trans voices without GC ones too!)
That’s the same old “I’ve been silenced because I can’t be transphobic on air” routine.

I wonder how many of the photos used in this montage by a prominent media outlet were taken with the consent of the sitter, maybe that’s a societal evil worthy of some investigation rather than whatever this is

I saw a random reddit comment where someone theorized that Pennywise and Mary Poppins were the same species of primordial psychic entity, but Pennywise feeds on fear while Poppins feeds on joy. both of them eat kid emotions because fear and joy are more intense in kids. This is Canon for me now.

Transphobia is a pipeline to the far right. An example:
Suzanne Moore used to be a left wing columnist at the Guardian.
Then came the anti-trans panic. Despite the Guardian also promoting it, it wasn’t enough & she left.
Moore is now complaining about wokeness over the Irish famine & colonialism.

Suzanne Moore, who would rather be locked up than pay her BBC licence fee because the BBC is too nice to trans people for her liking.
