It’s the BBC v Trump, Farage and co. Who in their right mind would want to be its new boss? | Marina Hyde Public life is a minefield and the best and brightest just don’t want to know. How convenient for foes of the most trusted news organisation in the world, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

The truth about impartiality at the BBC And the hysteria of the current "crisis"

“When I was [at the BBC], at the height of Boris Johnson’s strength, that fear was ubiquitous. Scripts were sometimes written with a view not solely to their impartiality or truth, but the management of perception of impartiality from one side of the spectrum.“ @lewisgoodall.com

The White House's press secre-tary, Karoline Leavitt, poked fun at Davie's resignation. On X, she wrote "shot" above a screenshot of a Telegraph headline saying "Trump goes to war with 'fake news' BBC". Leavitt then added "chaser" above a second screenshot from the BBC website announcing Davie's departure. Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr, wrote on X that UK reporters were "just as dishonest" as "the ones here in America". Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said the resignations must be "the start of wholesale change"

The BBC's reporting is widely viewed in the US, with the corporation positioning itself as an impartial alternative to partisan networks like Fox News. The UK's right-wing GB News is winning friends in the White House and could be awarded reporting credentials after launching a new Washington DC show. One BBC News figure said: "This will have serious repercussions for the BBC's Washington team. If Trump launches a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against the BBC, as he has with US networks, that would be disastrous. Tim needs to give a grovelling apology personally to the President."

The Panorama edit was clumsy. But the facts remain. It was a violent insurrection to upend a democratic vote. Looking at the wild outrage here, we’d be forgiven for thinking Jan 6th never happened. In terms of bias, this is off the scale worse. With Farage delighting in the damage.

UK to lose 600000 workers to illness without better health support at work

Tired all the time? There may be a simple reason for that Levels of fatigue among women in Britain are soaring, and this isn’t the kind that can be cured by a nap. What lies behind the exhaustion epidemic?

There are 2 articles in the Guardian:
1️⃣ stating that exhaustion is at EPIDEMIC levels
2️⃣ "The UK’s productivity crisis is one of the biggest challenges facing our economy and long-term health conditions in the workforce are a major factor in this"

🤦‍♀️Neither mentions #LongCovid

Reform’s Sarah Pochin forced to apologise after claiming adverts 'full of black people' drive her 'mad’ | LBC The Runcorn and Helsby MP was responding to a viewer live on air who complained about the demographics of advertising.

Nothing on the BBC Radio news this morning. Nothing I could find on their website. This is an MP from the party whose lead in the opinion polls normally ensures them wall-to-wall coverage. She spouts racist nonsense for which even she feels obliged to apologise. What on earth are they playing at?
