I think, as an American who studied the speech to assess whether it constituted unlawful incitement, the BBC edit was poor journalistic form, but it did not convey something substantively different than reality. My thing? The apology doesn’t convey to me that the BBC gets Trump isn’t a fair broker.
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.

“Someone who says I’m against abortion but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life. And someone who says I’m against abortion but I’m in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don’t know if that’s pro-life.”
- Pope Leo XIV

What does ‘pro-life’ mean? There’s no one answer – even for advocacy groups that oppose abortion
The term ‘pro-life’ can seem simple – but how Americans and advocacy groups interpret it varies widely.

Well let’s hope that people are fired up enough to mean it this time. With groups like Indivisible and Move On calling for primary challengers it gives greater weight.
The issue is that, historically, angry D voters don't show up to primaries and vote out incumbents the way R voters do.
The threat to "primary them" is not read as a serious threat.
We'd be a much healthier party, and a much healthier country, if it were taken more seriously.

I gave Volodymyr Zelenskyy a copy of my book "Invasion" at the presidential palace in Kyiv. Seconds after we sat down for an interview the electricity failed, plunging us into darkness! Zelenskyy seemed relaxed, good-humoured and resilient, after almost four years of full-scale war. A remarkable guy
