The BBC’s Attempts to Appease the 'Right-Wing Coup' Against It Are Now Seeding Its Own Destruction
By attempting to appease those forces seeking to destroy them, the BBC has helped trigger a crisis that now threatens its very future, argues Adam Bienkov

Astonishing that this c**t still gets platformed on mainstream anything. Sky News should be ashamed. #LFC #JFT97
Sky News just had Kelvin Mackenzie on, former editor of The Sun, one of the people at the centre of probably the most disgraceful front page in newspaper history, complaining about BBC journalists not being objective and 'fake news'. Astonishing. ~AA

I’m old enough to remember when the BBC used old footage of Johnson at the cenotaph, to cover the fact that he was hung over and looked like a burst mattress on a tip.

Been a deadbeat in private business for 50 years, why would Trump change in public office?
Been stiffing contractors and working class people all his working life.

BBC News bulletins leading on the story of an Algerian man being mistakenly released by the prison service.
Funnily enough I don't remember these cases ever leading the bulletins when an average of ten prisoners were mistakenly released a month in the final year of the last Government

Been a lot of 'suddenly realising' going on since the Tories left power.
14 years of see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.
Also, the 'suddenly realising' seemingly only applies to foreign prisoners.

For as many years as anyone been counting two or more inmates been mistakenly released from British prisons most weeks. Record does not make it acceptable. System needs to be fixed. It does leave me asking why BBC now gripped by end-of-civilisation hysteria heard on Radio 4 Today programme.

Together with bailing out the banks and Brexit, not raising income tax for the last 50 years is how we got into this mess of terrible public services and the race to the bottom.
Everything is shit because the entire media and political spheres have decided Thatcherism was untouchable and faultless.

Think a few people in America and New York need to check their own Islamaphobia before screeching antisemitism.
Been a collective mind fuck of the Right and quite a few centerists because New Yorkers had the terimitity to chose to elect a Muslim mayor.

The way all of these people convinced themselves that Mamdani is antisemitic is a subject far more worthy of media examination than any of the ‘groupthink on campuses!’ thinkpieces we’ve been subjected to

Trump: "For generations Miami has been a haven for those fleeing communist tyranny in South Africa. I mean, if you take a look at what's going on in parts of South Africa. Look at South Africa, what's going on. Look at South America, what's going on. You know, we have a G20 meeting in South Africa."

Amazing. He's saying the quiet part out loud without even realizing it.
I know how absurd this is to say these days, but it's important to remember that officially, redistricting isn't supposed to unfairly favor one party over another.

Once again, this isn’t journalism. It’s stroking the ego of a politician who’s done great national harm.
WhyTF should we take Farage seriously? Just because he wants power? Even more reason for ruthless scrutiny.
His track record is racist and ruinous. Any serious journalist would say so.

Because the left are viewed by the press and by our abysmal political class as hated enemies and as automatically and fundamentally illegitimate, in a way that even the nastiest and craziest right wingers are not. Because Thatcherism itself is their only non-negotiable red line.

A great day for the golden rule of political analysis: when the right wins it is a resounding ideological victory that humiliates the left and when the left wins it is a precarious fluke that will surely end up humiliating the left. Conservatives are power’s landlords and the left merely tenants

The "consensus" in 2010 was that our economy was on the verge of collapse, we were at the mercy of "bond vigilantes", & it would be crazy to borrow money at 0 interest rates. Instead the "consensus" was that we needed austerity.
That "consensus" was wrong & no-one has been held accountable.
