‘Make no mistake – this was a coup’: the extraordinary downfall of the BBC’s top bosses
A BBC board member with links to the Conservative party “led the charge” in pressuring the corporation’s leadership over claims of systemic bias in coverage of Donald Trump, Gaza and transgender rights, the Guardian has been told.
Sources said Robbie Gibb, Theresa May’s former communications chief who was appointed to the BBC’s board during Boris Johnson’s time as prime minister, amplified the criticisms in key board meetings that preceded the shock resignation of the director general, Tim Davie, and the head of BBC News, Deborah Turness.

Panorama made a stupid editing mistake. But compare this to the deliberate and systemic attempt, sustained across years, to ensure that BBC output aligns ever more closely to the demands of economic power. Against your straw of bias, I raise you a haystack.

Your Black friends, neighbors, coworkers, and followers told you about all of this for years. Instead of seeking to understand you gaslighted us, ignored us, tried to silence us, labeled us lazy and said we were stuck in victim mode. This is what we meant when we said "systemic racism." SYSTEMIC!

The reason we continue to see Democrats literally capitulating with fascists at key moments where actual continued resistance would have fractured the fascists power is because fracturing the systemic powers that support fascism would also destroy neoliberalism and its theater in place of action.

Something special about large-scale systemic corruption or regression. Large facilities where grownups go in and grownup-sized babies come out. Auditoriums of hypno screens and chairs with restraints. Sounds of begging through dorm walls as people helplessly push their adulthood into their pants.

Biden won.
Treating this as "January 6" doesn't capture the magnitude and systemic (if also ridiculous) of the overlapping plots. In fact, I'm looking for a better term to capture this plot against America.
