Well, this is quite a serious allegation. I do hope the BBC shows true impartiality and investigate whether or not some of its Board members are systemically biased. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...

The "appropriate response" is to broadcast everything that Trump did and said on that appalling day for American democracy and then to tell this moron to sling his hook.
I might be wrong, but this stinks of Pharage involvement.

It’s not something I’ve seen mentioned so far in all of this, but panorama implying that Trump was responsible for inciting Jan 6th puts it in the same category of the majority of the US senate. Quite why that isn’t worthy of a mention in response to the implication of radical left bias is strange.

My dad was the bassist of this band back in 1989. They turned down fame in favour of enjoying themselves, but I legitimately love his stuff and felt it'd be a disservice not to let people in on this hidden gem.
