The truth is that the sentence wasn’t inaccurate – it was removed because of legal fears. And that’s exactly the concern my lecture raises: when institutions start censoring themselves out of fear of those in power. /3

The BBC's has responded in The Guardian that this was a routine editorial decision, but also that it was made on legal advice. Those two explanations don’t fit together. /1
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Ha ha ha ha. Does anyone really think that 10 years later this regime would come up with a health plan? The GQPs have been against Obamacare but have no plans of their own. Dear leader doesn't really care because he and his family have no worries. A new health plan from them will never happen.

Sen. Kelly responds: "If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won't work. I've given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution."

Just days after Sen. Mark Kelly participated in a video asking service members to ‘refuse illegal orders,' the Pentagon now says it's opening an investigation into Kelly for "serious allegations of misconduct."

Pretty remarkable that Trump has installed someone on the Saudi dole — Jared Kushner collects millions in fees from the Saudis every year — in a key role for America's most sensitive and consequential foreign policy negotiations (Gaza, Ukraine), and it is largely TREATED AS A NON-STORY

That's how so called phubbing - unintentionally snubbing someone in favour of your phone, creeps into everyday moments.
Impacts your relationship by making partners feel ignored. Parental phone use can really affect children, weakening bonds with younger kids and denting self-esteem in older ones.
