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

Ppl say the other place still has the juice for various news/global topics, etc. I took a look. Checked a topic that hasn't gotten much chat here — international, political, cultural.
Well, there's nothing there either. I did see a ton of fascism getting served up. Closed my temp account and left.
