This is a very powerful and first hand analysis of the BBCs position. Worth a read -t

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

Trump and his cronies have the BBC in their sights. Leaders can’t stay silent while one of our great institutions is attacked. We must defend its independence, end political appointments, and remove Robbie Gibb from the Board.

The headline to this one is - Daily Mail owner seeks to dodge tax. It’s not really a shocking story, it’s not like we would expect anything better.

BBC Director General Tim Davie and news CEO Deborah Turness have both quit. Getting rid of a former Tory candidate and the woman who wanted to change output to gain the trust of Reform voters should definitely sort out any left wing bias.

Anita Singh on today's Telegraph front page - 'The Telegraph was out to get him he (Davie) believed' I can't criticise the man's judgement.

I had my disagreements with the BBC under Tim Davie but he was a decent man doing a difficult job. To see Trump's White House claiming credit for his downfall and attacking the BBC should worry us all.

Was struggling to find a video on here of the BBC Panorama Trump speech splicing that has led to Tim Davie resigning, so here you go.

The BBC when there is a real scandal: takes years to do anything, drags its feet, is very defensive The BBC when the right wing goes for it: has a panic attack then throws itself on its sword immediately

OK no more editing of Trump. Broadcast every stumble, every nonsensical ramble and brain fart. No more tidying him up or explaining him. Instead of commentary, just replace every reporter with this GIF every time he does anything:

There are many ways to remember the sacrifice of the First World War: a reminder of the 120,000 headstones produced by the Hopton Wood Stone Company in Middleton (Derbyshire), carried by the Cromford and High Peak Railway to Commonwealth War Grave cemeteries. #RemembranceDay

🟦 CLEAN FEED | Culture Sec Lisa Nandy tells LBC she's looking at options after Ofcom decides not to take action re politicians presenting news programmes. "As a country, if people can't trust the news that they see, then that is a very dangerous place for a democracy to have got into."

Thank you, Tim

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

Leavitt - “Every time I travel to the United Kingdom with President Trump and am forced to watch the BBC in our hotel rooms, it ruins my day listening to their blatant propaganda and lies about the president of the United States ..." FORCED !

lmao

Democrats asked for ONE THING today to reopen the govt: Keep health insurance subsidies where they are at now for one year. That is IT. Nothing else. Republicans said no. So all the lies they tell every day about things Dems are asking for is BS. Republicans OWN this shutdown.

HAPPY FOUR SEASONS TOTAL LANDSCAPING DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE

Trump gets confronted by the FACT that the Walmart dinner he keeps citing to prove prices are down is only because his comparison contained FEWER items, of less quantity, & more inexpensive brands. He calls the reporter “fake news” and refuses to call on her again. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Jackson's dissent, joined by Sotomayor and Kagan, says the evidence showed that gender-incongruent passports led to humiliating, invasive searches of trans Americans (including strip searches) since their gender marker didn't align with their appearance. The policy is both cruel and irrational.

NEW: On the shadow docket, the Supreme Court lets Trump resume misgendering trans Americans on their passports, claiming "the government is merely attesting to a historical fact without subjecting anyone to differential treatment." All three liberals dissent. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

I like how the caption on this photo reads as if he's making a claim that could not be independently verified.

So, how long did it take for professional medical support to arrive ? This seems an unbelievable weakness considering the ages of some of these officials. Why is there not a White House Medic on hand to attend within seconds ?

RFK Jr's response to someone collapsing nearby him was to haul ass out of the room as quickly as possible

good morning gang, let’s all suffer together
