Strange that not a single MSM outlet has picked up this story, that the guy who reported on misleading quotes at the BBC used misleading quotes in his report of the problems. LOL #r4today www.thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-e...
EXCLUSIVE: Michael Prescott himself doctored Trump quote in his anti-BBC report
A report alleging Panorama broadcast misleading Trump quotes contains misleading quotes itself

No. 10 staff tell PM that "it wasn't us, Prime Minister."
Presumably, Starmer is so thick/stupid/naive that he expected one/some of them to own up.

As an ex Fleet Street hack, I'm a news junkie.
Each morning, I visit 4 national paper websites and read all that interests me.
And I am astonished to find that a strange quirk of news still persists.
Back in the day, everyone knew that Monday's paper was thin and Tuesdays, VERY thin. #r4today

For pity's sake: The phrase is "I'll try a new TACK".
Now there are MPs in Parliament, RIGHT NOW, saying: "I will try a different TACT."

In this BBC row, the man no-one seems to be talking about is the slippery pseudo-intellectual chairman, Samir Shah.
I have watched him appearing before Parliament several times, and he is certainly not intellectually or of a character to be in charge of Playschool, never mind the #BBC. #r4today

A vital part of the modern "journalist" tool kit is that mysterious population list.
I've never seen it, but evidently it lists the population of every English city, town, and village.
It allows them quickly to say: "foreign town X has the same population as Scarborough".

Every body slamming Trump for suing the Beeb.
If that gapped to anyone, they'd want redress.
Hate Trump but he has a point. IMHO, he has been libelled.

FFS all the loonies are coming out of the wood to criticise the BBC, led by chief clown, Tonald Drump they include someone called Danny Cohen accusing it of institutional anti-Semitism, Janet Daley saying it is not a right-wing coup and too many more to mention. #r4today

Proof (were it needed) that almost all the reporting staff of the Daily Fail are ignorant.
They must be if their “Chief Reporter” says (wrongly) in his first para, that Deborah Turness was “fired” and then says in his next para that she "quit" (resigned).

It's genuinely hard to remember a game when the opposition didn't attack down the left, every single manager has our numberm everyone knows they can go through burn at LB, usually drawing a penalty or a goal... Howes loyalty to burn is costing him #nufc

Just a thought. If, as I expect, it'll be two defeats in a row after the next round of PL matches (Man City), we could well be in the bottom three by then. Sweet dreams. #nufc

I bet @georgecaulkin.bsky.social doesnt ask Howe why he didnt take off Burn after his yellow. Or why he left all his changes until... Effectively we were behind.
That's because "journalists" are afraid to offend.
