I think a lot about a question Chris Morris (as the interviewer Peter Hammill) asked Martyn Lewis on Radio 1 in 1994: ‘How does news help us?’

A month ago, the famine in Gaza, deliberately created by the Israeli government, was officially confirmed by UN agencies. Since then, there has been an eerie silence in the media here, with far fewer reports than there were before. But it hasn't ended. On the contrary, it has intensified.

#r4today Is little Justin ranting about boats again? Would love to know how they effect his pampered little bubble world. Are the boats in the studio now Justin? Or just orders from Murdoch and your other masters?

#r4today the duty of media is ask if something is true not platform unsubstantiated opinions from people hired to pretend to believe things for money.

if you have a Christian family you’ve been wanting to wordlessly abandon tomorrow would be a great day to do it

If John Prescott was two jags why isn't Farage five garage Farage? Oh yes, Farage is a servant of Murdoch hence funny nicknames don't apply.

Watched the film The Creator lastnight. Not bad. Chinese money behind it I'd guess as most of the Americans were a bad lot. But then I thought, no with Trump in charge they are.

Has anyone else noticed posts with spelling mistakes etc always send? The half decent ones take their time.

#BBCNews Chris Mason uses a baseball bat with Ed Davey, a feather with Farage and Reform. In the unlikely event Reform ever does achieve power Mason will be guaranteed a place in the Lords.

Shouldn't need saying but here goes. Farage's patriotism is hiding the fact that he'd asset strip this country to the bones. He's already sold us out over Brexit and it worked so well he's trying again. Five houses, constant media attention, and more wealth are all he craves. A vile narcissist.

The truth: we need migration. The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it. Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality. Reject it. Draw the line.

#politicslive new show same old crap. Reform TV. Lisa Nandy, where are you?

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR. This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

Musk is making a sign of what they both are. Rhymes with hunt.

“Today, to revive the hope of peace for the Palestinians and Israelis, and a two state solution, the United Kingdom formally recognises the State of Palestine” Prime minister Keir Starmer

Well done and well said Ed Davey regarding Musk and the sewer known as X.

This does not look like “impartiality”. It looks like propaganda. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/how...

British media pumps out daily propaganda pieces for Farage, fails to offer *any scrutiny* and basically legitimises rampant racism, then puts on its ‘innocent face’ and clutches its pearls at the rise of the far right… What a grim betrayal of our democracy. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/how...

#bbclaurak you know what to do. Parade how well-informed you are by watching a mediocre journalist who holds her audience in utter contempt. This farce will only end when people switch it off.

An easy way to see how brainwashed you are by Britain's bent media. If you're more worried about Russian jets and drones in NATO airspace than small boats I'd say you're fine.

Andor would want you to cancel your Disney+ subscription. It's the least you can do for the Rebellion.

The Dutch rip the hell out of Donald Trump and Disney for the ridiculous Jimmy Kimmel firing. This is what you call Free Speech, Trump.

Here’s how Jimmy Fallon responded to Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off air:

Couldn't stomach more than five minutes of #BBC #Sky #LBC #r4today right-wing propaganda this morning.

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

Trump’s allies now control X, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, & TikTok. They own Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ & NY Post. They own Sinclair Broadcasting which has 200 tv stations and local news in 100 markets. “Freedom of speech” is now what Trump and his billionaire pals say it is.

Nish Kumar, "Donald Trump is the sort of emblem of hope to white supremacists, to racists, xenophobes, and to frankly the richest people on the planet" "There's nothing new about Donald Trump, he's just the latest in a strong of people who have attempted to destroy our societies"

Like to flirt with fascism? Are you a closet Nazi? Read this rag. The editor seems to have a cold again.

My follower numbers are jumping up a bit. Welcome to all. I'm hesitant to follow back accounts with no history, no posts or requests to DM. Those who are genuine, thanks for the interest. If you look like a real person I will follow back eventually. A lot of bots around 🤖

All political tribes can be hypocritical but the right's current level of hypocrisy on free speech is deliberate. It's an assertion of power not a blindspot.

State banquet you say. Billionaires are getting you to hate migrants as they and an army of client journalists lie to you and suck the wealth from the economy.

The majority of the UK media is made up of millionaire presenters pandering to billionaires. Greed rules all these people. None of them will ever have enough. They don't care about us.

#r4today Justin Webb is sloppy seconds from the Mail. Nick really doesn't venture outside his bubble does he? Two minutes of this subpar rubbish is more than enough.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Trump just designated “Antifa” as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, “antifa” is short for “antifascist”. They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left. This may be our Reichstag Fire moment. Wake up. www.cnn.com/2025/09/17/p...

Is Channel 5's Street Cops:Catching the Yobs made by Reform? So far laws have been blamed, courts, and the government. We've always had a bumper crop of dickheads in this country. It's nothing new.

Watched Don't Look Up last night. Decent film but made me sad because that's where we are minus the comet.

In youth we had a phrase, What are we paying them for? For the likes of Trump, Farage, and Badenoch it's because they can commit the most heinous hypocrisy whilst keeping a straight face.

In London, hate will never win.

This is why they’re deleting studies

#RobertReford RIP one of the greats. "Boy, I got vision, and the rest of the world wears bifocals" Never was a movie quote so true. You will be missed.
