The BBC | Tim Davie resigns as Director General over Trump documentary edit (p 187)

It reduced its local radio output (not a big issue) but I guess you missed its expansion into digital TV and it's online content. This is why I mentioned diversification. But if it enabled you to rant about something you wanted to get off your chest, then fair enough. I would just rather you did that with others rather than bore me.

reducing local radio is a massive issue

I'm not fan of Trump, but the thought of him claiming damages from the BBC is a farcical situation. Is that taxpayer money too? If so he's finally found a way to make non-Americans pay tribune to him, and the BBC have paved the way.

I very much doubt it will come to anything. Apologise and move on. If he wants to go to a court in Florida then fine - the BBC will be able to explain in their defence everything Trump said and did on the 6th - I doubt he will want that to happen. If he silences them through his court don't pay anything. He will have to come to a UK court to enforce a judgement where it can all be played out.

Trump is old and ill. Trump has 3 years as president after that ........? I am genuinely surprised by the gloating reaction of the BBC rivals to be honest. Trump has forced US media to bow to his will with financial threats. If he were to win here do they think thats it? He and his cronies will clamp down on anything he doesn't like. Is that what they want? Is that what the people of the UK want? Our media openly controlled by a foreign power?

Ok woman or person......I apologise to you as well for my mardiness. I know I had an excuse but that butters no parsnips as my old Gran used to say. I was a big baby and I am sorry. :-)

Didn't notice. I was just being flippant. I didn't know what TDS was either though I suspected it was made up rubbish.

Hope you get some sleep.

Yes they are! Not saying who is right in it by saying that btw but both him and Grossman have both been brought into question as well as their findings. Even Shah questioned some of it.

With all the validity of a Scouse ref whinge.

Muddy the waters, deflect, obfuscate, ad hominem, it's pathetic. The BBC is a mighty organisation brought low, it's been institutionally captured, it needs root and branch.

And like I said, that’s exactly what the other side are saying too. As you said, people see what they want to see.

It’s hard not to see at least some validity in a plan that has been around for 20 years. Both can be true at the same time.

Ones of Trumps mates. Farage then jumps on the wagon amplified by Redbird and Comcast (sky news) who paid to rebuild the East Wing for him.

Nothing to see here...
 
180 odd pages of the BBC is a disgraceful Tory right wing tool and now it has to be saved from the right wing lol.

They fucked up, created fake news due to some cunts bias and are now feeling the heat because of it and rightly so.

Everyone hates fake news yes?

It was a production company that create the edit.

I agree with your point about fake news. I've witnessed it first hand. GB News visiting my picket line comes to mind.

Any news CEO and DG should be demanding that if they want clean slate at the BBC Robbie Gibb and his 'independent' mate should be removed from their roles and they can't start again. Until that poison is sucked out it will continue.
