Genuinely think this coverage is worthy of formal complaint – and if the BBC doesn’t take it seriously, it should be escalated to Ofcom.
The appearance of caving to the Trump White House, when the BBC is being sued, could be disastrous for public trust.

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

I worry that Trump’s latest partial climbdowns, pathetic & insincere as they are, will bolster Downing Street’s arguments for keeping him sweet when it’s surely time to go full Mark Carney.

I’m really quite surprised at the BBC website today. ‘Here is a video, some people say it does not show what it very obviously shows’ is not how you report this.

This perfectly demonstrates the pernicious nature of BBC two-sidism.
It almost always benefits the side with the most power.
In this case that's the side which is murdering peaceful protesters in the street, on camera, and then lying about it

Nope, Heritage Foundation wasn't Trump to create a system where by the time Trump dies they can take over.
Trump doesn't think strategically enough to achieve what he has, see, inject bleach.

I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth:
“ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king.
This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

No no, 'they' project 25, various billionaires etc are just using him to turn America into a white capitalist utopia. In return he is using them to feel good.
I'm convinced they're waiting for Trump to die before releasing the Files. We all know he's not well, he's clearly trying to collect accolades so he can bargain his way into heaven, and once he's gone his cronies can throw him under the bus and try to make themselves look good by comparison.
