Journalists near the bottom. Anyone who has seen and listened too the news media circus in the UK, will understand why they have such a poor rating. Bias and low standards are the reason.

GB News investor and Spectator owner Paul Marshall is in the running to buy the Telegraph now that the RedBird takeover plan has collapsed, the Guardian reports. Hard to see this being anything other than a disaster for public discourse in Britain if that goes ahead.

Has anyone seen anything by a Florida defamation lawyer commenting on the likely prospects of Trump vs BBC? Lots of speculation, but would be good to see what an actual expert thinks.

Just in the past 3 days, I happened to speak to an academic, a US politician and a former Biden official who had all received death threats and severe harassment from the MAGA movement. It's now a common experience. I am sorry MTG has to live through the same thing, but she can't be surprised

Is it me, or has the discourse on Bluesky become more crude & reactive recently? So many responses where the person hasn't read the article. So many comments that are devoid of anything showing basic knowledge of the subject. Although I keep muting & blocking the clichéd comments keep coming.*sigh*

The official investigation into the January 6 riots concluded Trump âsummoned the mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack" in an effort to halt the peaceful transfer of power. No billion dollar lawsuit can change reality. The BBC should call this convicted criminalâs bluff.
