SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten.

"I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA

“If the papers keep saying the BBC is lying to you, that it’s biased, people start believing it.”

Has the BBC’s Trump edit error been blown out of proportion because of deeper motivations, asks @maitlis.bsky.social.

A magnificent piece of work. Comprehesive, revelatory & shocking. Journalism this good is always rare & precious but never moreso than at times like this. Latter day Lord Haw Haws being plumped, preened & delivered to your doorstep in plain sight by a Nazi-saluting goon

Elon Musk's influence on British politics via X is dangerous.

Research shows:

X's algorithm amplifies right-wing and extreme content.

Right-wing voices are dominating, and the algorithm is pushing posts to new users, no matter their political views.

First the likes of Farage said we needed to leave the EU. Now they’re coming for the ECHR.

Paul Kohler MP: "It feels like Brexit déjà vu with the same hollow promises of taking back control, the same disregard for facts, the same blindness to consequence."

Hearts move eight points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership after a well-deserved win over Celtic.

Could the Old Firm's 40-year domination of the top-flight finally be coming to an end

The news that Shane Black’s new film is called Play Dirty is reason enough to remind everyone that Andre De Toth’s Play Dirty is one of the greatest (and bleakest) war films ever made.

A ★★★★½ review of Play Dirty (1969)
"Funny thing, survival." Not merely one of the greatest war films of the 1960s but one of the decade's best films, full stop. Undoubtedly marketed as a cousin of The Dirty Dozen this feels more like a...

Paranoia is exploited to control us. Movies are groomed to flatter us. And trauma has been twisted to make us blame ourselves. How can we make sense of our lives? The two film-makers try to navigate the chaos

Our actual enemies *and* the BBC’s commercial rivals hate everything that makes it important & valuable. (And they don’t help themselves much these days in all sorts of ways.)
But this is a crucial test of the current government’s resolve.
NEW: BBC bosses will make push for government to take back costs of the World Service, amid an “aggressive” Russian state disinformation drive

Now “undeniable” case for using world service to push western values, they say. State media moves in when WS moves out.

All part of charter renewal chat:
World Service must be fully state-funded to counter disinformation, say BBC bosses
Ministers must cover full costs of championing western values abroad, senior BBC figures to argue

They are arguing, endlessly, that illegally inciting acts of terror online is ‘free speech’ while silencing dissent, targeting journalists & telling an invaded ally what he is & is not allowed to say during a live television broadcast are all fine.

It's been obvious since January 6 that he was an enemy of the USA, the UK & the whole of the free world. Everybody still in his camp understands this as completely as everybody against it. They just prioritise personal interest over the national & international. And they know it. They all know it.

He is not just appeasing Putin, he is aligned with him. And every single client journalist, political shill & public/online cheerleader on both sides of the Atlantic is too. Against Zelensky. Against Ukraine. Against freedom. Against the most basic tenets of decency.
