The Telegraph routinely spreads myths about a range of subjects - especially climate change.

It has been forced to publish over 100 corrections this year so far.

Yet it has the gall to lecture the BBC - and whip up a national panic - about journalistic standards
The Telegraph’s Record of Climate Falsehoods
The Telegraph, which has accused the BBC of bias and a lack of editorial rigour, has been forced to amend a swathe of climate inaccuracies. The BBC’s director-general and CEO resigned this weekend aft...

This is a genuinely intolerable reality…
Instead of some proportion from much of the British media class, we are treated to the tragicomic absurdity of a former British prime minister willing to admonish the national broadcaster and demand the resignation of its Director General, all in the name of defending Donald Trump's reputation for truth-telling. But it's worse than that- it is a textbook example of how populists win.

And they can get away with it, because no-one expects anything from them and yet we expect everything from the people and places who actually give a damn.

“Fearless journalism is what terrifies politicians, and it must not be cowed."

The BBC must stand up to Trump's $1 billion lawsuit - or risk legitimising the president's false narrative of what really happened on January 6

What’s the next move for the BBC, after Donald Trump’s threat to sue the broadcaster for a billion dollars – and why what it decides will influence much more than its own future.

You honestly can't make this up. There was no way #Brexit was ever going to cut regulation or bureaucracy for exporters to the #EU, large or small, unless we opted to stay in the Single Market and Customs union. Many of us in business repeatedly made that point.

The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.

New piece from me.

I see the odious #ChrisMason #BBC now targeting #Lammy for the state of the Justice system. No acknowledgement from him as to the shortcomings of the last #ToryGovt in this area. Such poor #journalism

Well said Lisa Nandy!

Reform have no real answers to anything.

They just create fear, distrust and chaos!

How sad for the likes of journo #Coates and #Mason that #Reeves has received an apology! When they have dried their eyes perhaps they might pursue some honest journalistic work! Not holding my breath though!!
