The president has Voice of America, a US version of the World Service, in his sights.

But the motivations for his war on journalism go far beyond cost-cutting and anti-woke, writes @ivorgaber.bsky.social
Trump's dictatorship will silence the truth

Why does @BBCNews when reporting ground-breaking research from the Weizmann Institute fail to mention it’s based in Israel?

Excellent article by Ash Sarker ( and I don’t always say that)
The left keeps getting identity politics wrong – and the right is benefiting from that

Tory achievement: More services privatised

So why not? Not too much worth reading/following in that other place.
