Make Ros Atkins the Director General. And Eddie Mair the Head of News.
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

Both Badenoch and Farage have been shown to have flagged this item to Mike Johnson and seemingly Trump. This is most definitely crossing a line. Weird how patriots want to undermine their own country.
In case you missed it: My suggestion that Farage was whispering to Trump behind the scenes while Trump was going after Greenland has been essentially confirmed.
As @jamesdaustin.bsky.social notes: Working against your country's interest with a semi-hostile state - there's a word for that.

Tory MP Simon Hoare has given a very vivid quote about Donald Trump's comments on Nato allies, which could actually be used in many contexts about the US president:
"Frankly Trump makes my flesh creep and my stomach turn. Where are his advisors? Where is his nurse? Where is his sense of shame?"

"Trump rules out military force to take Greenland," is a headline so bonkers, I never expected to see it in serious journalism, even after he was elected in November. And this is just one year in - how bonkers will the headlines get from here? https://loom.ly/WJPLy4o
Trump says 'I won't use force' to obtain Greenland in Davos speech
The U.S. president is in Davos, Switzerland for the World Economic Forum's annual meeting. Trump's push to acquire Greenland has turned to antagonism toward allies in recent days.
