Genuinely think this coverage is worthy of formal complaint – and if the BBC doesn’t take it seriously, it should be escalated to Ofcom.
The appearance of caving to the Trump White House, when the BBC is being sued, could be disastrous for public trust.

The BBC coverage is absolutely terrible.
It leads on "sharply contested narratives"
It has a dramatic skew to the US government
It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue

Journalists, please remember that repeating obviously false statements is not balance or fairness. It is actively participating in deception.

The task for political leadership now is not just to tell the truth, but to make people care about what is true and what is not.

Thanks to Dr James Densley for telling it like it is.
The lies being spread by the Trump regime are sickening. Good to see the BBC pushing back against them with this analysis from Dr James Densley.

We’ve had this game of Cluedo since the 1970s. The ‘preparations for play’ truck no nonsense and the implements are weighty originals, save for the rope which had to be improvised. I won (Col Mustard, conservatory, lead pipe) so plainly the day job has transferable skills

Demolishing 1 Silk Street would waste carbon and damage local character. A retrofit could save both.
We’ve objected to the plans, now it’s time to rethink how we treat our existing buildings. Why demolish when we can refurbish?
