"They are so convinced their politics isn’t really politics, but just some default setting shared with much of the country..."

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.

But that is not enough. No.10 should never have been in a position to install Gibb in the first place. It shouldn't control the board membership, the DG appointment, or the purse strings. What's required is genuine independence for the BBC.

Everyone knows that the BBC, since its stuffing at its highest level with Tory appointees, is rightwing.
Yet UK media, especially the Murdoch press, has had a long-running campaign to gaslight us that the BBC is leftwing.
I wonder why that might be!

Yes. That's why the BBC backdown is so dangerous.
1. The fundamental question is, did Trump incite an insurrection?
2. If he did, the edit was justified.
3. If he didn't, it was not justified.
4. The Trump regime says he didn't.
5. Facts and trials say he did.
