The BBC joins a long list of media companies now obeying in advance. I can't say I'm surprised or at this point even angry. It is a structural flaw in legacy media
All I can do is promise that Democracy Docket will never bow down or bend a knee. It will remain unapologetically pro-democracy.

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."
BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

Quite perturbed that no one seems to care about climate change which is the biggest threat to humanity. Fast track energy projects profiting the rich, military expansion while cutting already strained social programs. This is all going to crash down on our heads. Does anyone even give a shit?

If you’d just serve the people instead of the donor class, you wouldn’t need the donor class. A million $20 donors beats one $10M donor every time.
