    I can't confirm that, but certainly the BBC (packed with Tory political appointees at every level) routinely buries any bad news for Trump.

    The #BBCNews is no diff to other MSM, but as a publicly funded news agency we should expect much, much better.

    Starmer needs to replace all the Tory appointees - and should have started last year.

  2. Tim Davie—a former Tory candidate and Deputy Chairman of the Hammersmith and Fulham Conservative Association—also needs to go. Imagine the outcry if Alastair Campbell were made a member of the board or Director General of the BBC! #ToryCorruption #SaveTheBBC

  3. Meanwhile, something worthwhile - the BBC - is going to have to make HUGE annual savings to survive and not be destroyed by short-sighted profiteers who don't value its independence.

    The Times are reporting it as "the rich will pay more" for the license (which seems fair) but the BBC article only talks about making it "more affordable to people on lower incomes". Almost as if The Times wants to rile up its readers 🧐

  4. Guardian: New doc shows more direct ties between UK monarchy and slave trade.

    BBC News: Some people complain about Sainsbury's mince packaging. 🤷‍♀️

    And somehow, despite all the outrage about the #BBC treatment of #Lineker and #Attenborough, I've yet to see any linkage to the BBC Director being a Tory donor with penchant for helping Boris Johnson secure personal loans.

  6. “It was deeply moving to hear #Iranian #women asking #BBCWorldService to save their secret diaries for them.”
    Why a #government of a party - the #conservatives - who play party #political #football with the #bbc, must not be able to abolish its #independent #funding system.
    Its #Persian subsidiary alone has an average weekly #audience of 18.9m (#radio reaches a further 1.6m at a time of heavy censorship of local #media in #iran, hindering their #coverage of #IranProtests. #SaveTheBBC

    „Sie ärgern sich über den Mist im Fernsehen? Sie wollen dafür nicht mehr zahlen? Und überhaupt sehen Sie nicht ein, warum Sie den öffentlichen-rechtlichen #Rundfunk finanzieren sollen? - Ihre Wut wird gehört. Ihr Ärger ernst genommen.
