Richard Gere on Trump: “We’re living in the darkest moment that I’ve experienced on this planet. Whoever thought America could turn like this? Whoever thought that a maniac like this would be president and dismantle all the good things? America’s never been a perfect place, but it has a perfect ideal. First day this guy dismantled almost everything that was good about the US government and people”
If Keir Starmer, Ed Davey or Zack Polanski or even Badenoch took a £5million bung or used the language Farage has twice..
They would be GONE. The media alone would have hounded them out of their job within a week.
There's your two tiers alright.
And it is the media.
Why did the BBC describe rioters in Southampton last night as ‘protestors’. They weren’t protestors, they were rioters. Where has the BBC's objectivity gone? Why can't they tell the truth?
How noble of Mr Farage to lend his voice to the Henry Nowak debate.
Strange then that he couldn’t be bothered to attend today's Commons statement by Shabana Mahmood on the Nowak case(ordered by the Speaker after the killer's sentencing & bodycam release)🤔
@KateWilton1@MFIJake I disagree. He's already gone too far. Many if not most of the people voting for him want him to go further. Look at Trump, he said himself that he could shoot someone on the street and still get support.
Here's another low-life scum that can be added to the arrest list for the Southampton riots. Laurence Fox seen here blatantly inciting an angry crowd. #FarageRiots#FarageRiots2
Let’s be crystal clear about it what is happening tonight in Southampton.
Far right thugs are doing Nazi salutes and throwing bricks at police.
It’s not a ‘revolution’ it’s criminality and thuggery.
Actual Nazis mobilising and rioting on the streets of Southampton today.
The moustached man in this video is Luke Jahn of the National Rebirth Party, a neo-Nazi movement led by Alek Yerbury, an infamous Adolf Hitler cosplayer.
Well done @BBCNews@BBCPolitics for playing your part in the latest #FarageRiots
Platforming Reform all day across BBC output, Zia Yusuf, Matt Goodwin and clips of Farage.
@Ofcom@lisanandy you’re supposed to regulate the media. You’re failing us.
#bbcnews
The way @GBNews covered Nigel Farage yesterday especially the cheerleading of the trouble in Southampton requires a look at by @Ofcom - little attempt at any sense of balance on this difficult issue.
@MattChorley But we don't owe him anything. He's the same racist bully now that he was at school. And this country is going to vote for him as PM. He's a fascist and we'll regret this period of history unless he's stopped
New statement from Scott Pelley:
“Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.
For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.
At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.”
