Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britain’s last remaining truly national institutions.

EXCLUSIVE: Michael Prescott himself doctored Trump quote in his anti-BBC report A report alleging Panorama broadcast misleading Trump quotes contains misleading quotes itself

"The man who sparked chaos at the BBC by criticising Panorama’s β€˜misleading’ edit of a Donald Trump speech also doctored Trump’s quotes himself in his controversial report, making them seem far more benign than they actually were."

The journalists must know who has been briefing them. Someone/ people have contacted the bbc, the Guardian, the times etc to brief against streeting.
They journos have the info which the PM seems to lack.

THE DAILY
TRUMPOGRAPH

Trump Praises Trumpograph For Praising Trump
LAST night President Trump trumpeted the Trumpograph for its fearless praising of Donald Trump.
"Unlike the corrupt and failing BBC, the Trumpograph is not afraid to be completely unbiased in its total adoration of Donald
Trump," said Trump.
In response the Daily Trumpograph said, "It is vital we objectively report on how great Trump is for praising us."

The Telegraph sides with Trump against the BBC and, so, the country.

Private Eye sums up its feeble-minded, fawning betrayal beautifully.

Who really funds the Jewish Chronicle? Why it’s troubling that we don’t know… Four years ago, a mysterious consortium came to the rescue of the beleaguered publicationβ€”and nobody is really clear about who is behind the scenes. B...

So there’s one aspect of the BBC story that has received zero attention: Robbie Gibb’s potential financial conflict of interests.

According to @arusbridger.bsky.social, he was just the bagman for the purchase of the Jewish Chronicle.

Prosecutors in Milan have opened an investigation into Italians who allegedly paid members of the Bosnian Serb army for trips to Sarajevo so that they could kill citizens during the four-year siege of the city in the 1990s.

More than 10,000 people were killed in Sarajevo by constant shelling and sniper fire between 1992 and 1996 in what was the longest siege in modern history, after Bosnia and Herzegovina declared independence from Yugoslavia.

Funny how the so called centrists, if they don't like the message they scream bias. Just like the left and the right. It turns out none of us like to hear bad news.
