I can't believe that the winner of the prestigious FIFA Peace Prize would do such a thing.

Whether it’s Barack Obama, appearing in a tan suit or Donald Trump appearing 1700 times in Jeffrey Epstein‘s emails, both presidents made some highly controversial appearances.

The worst you can accuse Panorama of doing is making a misleading edit – and I’d dispute that! – to make *a point that was true*.

The programme aired without anyone seeing any issues with the edit. It was on iPlayer for a year without complaints. Donald Trump *did* incite Jan 6th.

Just a bizarre line that no one who doesn't use X would ever think.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

I've watched enough movies to know that this is totally fine and it's ok to ignore it and tend to business at the banana store.

Let me see if I have this right... tens of thousands of people held a rally in our nation's capital and gave speeches about how there's no free speech in this country. That's where we're at now?
