Nu vill Kvartal och gamla vanliga gänget på X se samma problem som BBCs i ett SVT-inslag från 2024. Men alltså, tänker sig folk att man inte ska få klippa samman viktiga citat från långa tal? SVTs klipp utgår från dokumentären The Steal. Kika gärna på motsvarande klipp i den, 1.20 in i filmen... 2/3

Efter BBC-skandalen: NRK ändrar Trump-klipp
Nu ändrar norska NRK ett nyhetsinslag som var klippt på ett liknande sätt. Det rapporterar Verdens Gang. Även SVT har gått igenom sina publiceringar om talet men har inte hittat några felaktigheter.

Minister Bohlin ogillar tydligen public service i allmänhet och Det Politiska Spelet i synnerhet. Så i senaste avsnittet byter de namn till Det Politiska Sakinnehållet. Och påpekar att Bohlin nog aldrig lyssnat på programmet. De brukar prata sakinnehåll, också.

Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments:
One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.
