  13. @shojiwax The BBC is failing its duty of impartiality by instructing journalists not to describe the capture of Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro as a kidnapping, instead sanitising the event with terms like “captured” or “seized”. This is not neutrality, but an act of client journalism that cleans up language to frame events in ways acceptable to power rather than describing them plainly. By suppressing this specific word, the BBC is curating reality and engaging in political bias, not avoiding it.

  19. @calmeilles if anyone needed proof that the #Murdoch Times is leveraging #media ownership to sow institutional distrust, it headlined "BBC CLAIMS journalists and crew ‘tied up and held at gunpoint by #IDF’" complete with inverted commas following the word "claims". You can see the hand of the editor in chief everywhere incl. the pasting of the outlandish claims from WhiteHouse press Sec.about #BBC #impartiality which serves no other purpose than to undermine the report.

  23. How is censoring those like Gary Lineker impartial? Allowing no #BBC employees to voice their views is not impartial, if the government controls the message. Worse, that message has given more time to projecting the anti-rights tropes of ethnic supremacists like Zionists, MAGA and Reform etc. financed by fascist narcissists exchanged for pushing their agenda of ecocide so they can steal the people’s taxes, is not impartial either. No wonder they have no interest in any ethical debate recognising the democratic rights of diverse interests! #Impartiality #BiasBBC #ElitesDebating #ecocide #BoughtPoliticians #AntiSemitism #GaryLineker bbc.co.uk/blogs/theeditors/200

    "There are several overlapping groups of people who, probably for different reasons, are more likely to prefer news that shares their point of view:
    (a) the ideological and politically engaged;
    (b) young people, especially those who rely mainly on social media for news;
    (c) women; and
    (d) less socioeconomically advantaged groups."

    "In markets dominated by fewer brands — often publicly funded ones such as the BBC — respondents in that market also tend to express higher levels of preference for impartiality." In Britain, where respondents use an average of four news brands, the lowest number across the 40 countries studied, 62% of respondents say they prefer news displaying no point of view.

  31. A quotation from Will Rogers

    Quite a few of the editorials have shown what the court ought to have done. We are always saying let the law take its course but what we really mean is “Let the law take our course.”

    Will Rogers (1879-1935) American humorist
    Column (1935-02-19), “Daily Telegram: Mr. Rogers Saw Warning in the Decision on Gold”

    «
    Necessity’s impartial law
    For every rank is still the same,
    One lot for high and low to draw:
    The urn hath room for every name.
     
    [Aequa lege Necessitas
    Sortitur insignes et imos;
    Omne capax movet urna nomen.]

  45. Trump calls on the Supreme Court to annul his guilty verdict in election interference hush-money case

    In a worrying sign for Trump,
    a new ABC/IPSOS poll showed ⭐️50% of voters thought the verdict was correct,
    nearly double the 27% proportion who believed it was wrong.

    ⭐️Nearly half of those polled, 49%, thought he should end his campaign – a step he is highly unlikely to take.

    The figures were even starker among “double haters”
    – voters who equally dislike Trump and president Joe Biden
    – 🌟65% of whom supported the verdict, with two-thirds saying the former president should end his campaign.
    Pollsters predict the cohort could be a critical component of the swing voter constituency they believe will determine the outcome in November.

    By appealing to the supreme court to intervene in a case he insists is nakedly political,
    Trump is reprising the legal strategy deployed in his defense against special counsel Jack Smith’s charges
    relating to the 6 January 2021 mob attack on the US Capitol
    in a bid to overturn the 2020 presidential election result in his favor.

    The #Jan6 case is currently on hold while the nine justices consider claims by Trump’s lawyers that he had complete #immunity from prosecution for decisions taken while he was president.

    But Trump's invocation of the court
    – which has a six-to-three conservative majority after Trump’s judicial appointments while he was in the White House
    – also comes as 💥 questions over the court's political #impartiality are at a peak💥... following revelations that a US flag was flown upside down at the home of Justice Samuel #Alito at the time of the January 6 riot.
    The gesture is identical to that used by many participants in the attack as a symbol of protest against Biden’s victory.

  46. Senate Democrats demand that
    Supreme Court Justice Samuel #Alito
    🔸#recuse himself from certain cases
    🔸and have called for a meeting with Chief Justice John #Roberts
    to discuss #ethics in the court
    after news broke that Mr Alito had flown flags used by Capitol riot participants.
    Senators Sheldon Whitehouse and Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin requested a meeting with Mr Roberts
    to discuss their concerns about Mr Alito’s #impartiality

    In 2021, shortly after Joe Biden took office, Mr Alito flew an
    upside down American flag at his home in Virginia.
    Under US flag code, a flag is never to be flown inverted “except as a signal of dire distress in instance of extreme danger to life or property.”
    The New York Times and other outlets revealed that Mr Alito had previously flown an
    "Appeal to Heaven" flag outside his New Jersey vacation home in the summer of 2023.
    Individuals participating in the January 6 attack on the US Capitol in 2021 carried both inverted American flags and "Appeal to Heaven" flags

  47. Under threat of legal action, #Ofcom has abandoned a two-tier approach to #impartiality touted by its CEO. But inaction on #BroadcastingBias remains deeply concerning.

    A two-tier approach would breach not only Ofcom’s #BroadcastingCode but also the #CommunicationsAct2003, making it #unlawful. However, it could explain why rightwing broadcaster #GBNews – which has a smaller audience – keeps getting away with breaking the rules.
