Australia's Laura Tingle has a look at the BBC's woes. They go a bit deeper than the stupid editing of Donald Trump's speech which has triggered legal action. There are several news items which the Beeb executive has not dealt with appropriately over time. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...
Why the BBC's issues go deeper than its 'doctoring' of Trump video

Ever since Gough Whitlam was dismissed 50 years ago, an idea has hampered Labor governments that Whitlam's had been unreasonably progressive, trying to do too much too quickly. But is that accurate?
Was Whitlam dismissed for being too radical?
