Fox News has faced ridicule online for repeatedly interviewing masked "guests" - supposedly a "former Antifa member," an "ex-gang member, and others - who all appear to have the same build, eyes, and voice, leading viewers to suspect it's the same man each time.
Internet sleuths recently compared screenshots and suggested the mystery guest resembles Robert J. O'Neill, the former Navy SEAL who claims to have fired the kill shot on Osama bin Laden.
O'Neill, who's been a frequent Fox News contributor and commentator for years, has a long history of appearances on the network. The recurring use of masked figures resembling him has sparked fresh criticism of Fox's credibility and its penchant for sensational, poorly vetted segments.

Chris Mason: Reform conference shows party's growing ambition like never before The conference feels like that of a big party - but retains the insurgency vibe that the party is seeking to channel.

Destined to be even more infamous than Andrew Marr's tubthumping for the Iraq war.

Maybe I’m wrong but the way that the media is manipulated nowadays to feed certain narratives is increasingly alarming. οΏΌ

Interesting that Graham Linehan was arrested only a couple of days before he was due to go on trial for alleged harassment and criminal damage.

It’s almost as if some in the Met Police were keen to draw attention to Mr Linehan to ensure maximum attention and coverage of the trial.

Farage’s Β£13,000 speech to anti-abortion extremists Reform leader’s praise for the β€œgrassroots army” raises questions about his stance on their extreme views

Dear women.

Nigel Farage appears to want to have control over your body.

You have been warned.

Historians dismayed by β€˜scandal’ of BBC cutting access to... Critics say new limit to trove of information sounds knell for independent research

The BBC, driven by right wingers like DG, Tim Davie, is restricting academic access to our shared social history. This is a trend which is clearly designed to assist a future right wing, populist govt to bury unhelpful facts and silence dissent. observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

No surprise that the BBC and PM, under far right apologist DG, Tim Davie, has given prime time coverage of Lucy Connolly’s early release. Two tier BBC News coverage continues apace…

BBC apologises over Thought for the Day β€˜xenophobia’ claim against Jenrick Corporation says Krish Kandiah’s criticism of senior Tory not appropriate for faith-based radio segment

A low point for the BBC, even given the numerous low points under the watch of Tory lickspittle Tim Davie.

Essentially the BBC have apologised for being accurate…

Why is the BBC now referring to Tommy Ten Names as an β€œactivist” rather than a β€œfar right activist”? I suspect it’s part of Tim Davie’s evidential and continuing shift to frame the far right in more positive language.

Government launches Orgreave inquiry, 40 years after clashes at miners’ strike Move follows decades of campaigning over violent policing and collapsed prosecutions at South Yorkshire coking plant

At last, and the Inquiry should investigate the BBC coverage of Orgreave which I believe was intentionally edited to paint striking miners as the aggressors.

Ed Davey is spot on in criticising the BBC on their continuing genuflecting when it comes to Nigel Farage. As the BBC always give him such an easy ride you’d think the BBC Board was stuffed with right wing sympathisers… which it is… #BBCBreakfast
