The bbc, again.

You must surely see the gap in this argument here.

I think GBNews made plain at the start that it came into being because there was a large gap in the market. It's been attacked since it started and the damaging element of those attacks has been at its revenue base. It also has a very left wing OffComm sniffing around it all the time.....restricting how it operates when it's a private company.

In these regards it gets treated far more harshly than the BBC.....Which gets chucked over three billion a year and can't even stick to its core principles.

Being liberal is fine......the problem is when you receive a licence fee from the population to be impartial....a significant segment of the country are always going to be right wing.....well that means that the organisation isn't fit for purpose.

When was the last time I saw a masculine straight right wing white male on the BBC?.....It's so rare it practically never happens, but it's at least twenty percent of the population.....In my view most of the BBC look down their nose at that and worst a fair amount of them regard it as evil.

Rather tellingly GBNews do not receive a licence fee.

The BBC won't correct itself, it had that chance in the 90s and it spurred the chance.

The left are too narcissistic to admit the real problems at the BBC and would rather burn it too the ground.

I have pretty much said all this on this thread in my various posts. You just have to splice my words together.

No. The words are all in the right order. They are just separated by other words, most of which are either garbled or on other subjects.

And in editing those 54 minutes of garbled words the next cogent sentence they could find was one which made it look as though he was directly inviting violence. That seems possible.

And same source of funding and open about their partiality.

My concern is normalising. You only have to see people on here who I suspect share many of your views who post GB News or articles from the Express (or Mirror) as fact.

I would prefer as is save addressing the corporation's liberal left bias. But I don't hate your idea (for what that's worth)

When you find something from GB News that is untrue, do share it with us.

So gain independence from the USA and give it to the EU. So glad you have got over Trump reelection and Brexit ( your words not mine)

Of course I have got over both. Those fights are lost but the fight to reverse them started immediately. Just because any decision is taken doesn’t mean it was sensible. If you care, you fight. Just as Trump recommended.

That is my take on this.

The BBC will use the "Journalism shield" as a defence but if Trump can produce a a history of BBC "mistakes" and better yet anti Trump social media posts he will win. Being a journalist does not mean you cannot be sued if bias can be proved.

As for jurisdiction a lawyer has already said Trump has a decent chance of getting the case heard. It doesn't matter that the Panorama programme wasn't broadcast in the the US. Were clips on social media, where else was it shown in the world? Trump is a global figure so his lawyers will argue that the impact of the BBC "mistake" was global.

In this country courts have accepted cases where nothing has happened on UK soil and I believe the same applies to the US.

If Trump does not get the case heard in the US he can always sue in the UK, where intent is not a prerequisite. As the BBC has already admitted liability he will win. He won't get the compensation he wants but the BBC will have mud on their face.

The BBC are not responsible for posts on social media. They are only responsible for things within their control. That Trump is a “global” figure isn’t their responsibility either.

That is only though only one strand of a compelling, arguably an unanswerable, defence.

Trump cannot sue in the UK. The time limit has expired.

The only reason he will pursue is to continue to portray himself as a victim and deflect from the trouble he is in. He cannot expect to win and doesn’t care if he loses.

Does your first line also count for retweets for hurty words. People jailed for that !
Making out trump wants to start ww3 is a bit worse than hurty words so you need to think before you post me thinks !

Not true.

Trump will have to show intent to win his case, to do that he will ask the court to look at prior bad acts and I think the court will accept that as a strategy. Whether those prior bad acts are legitimate claims is another matter.

By showing that the BBC time and time again misreported him that shows a pattern and intent this will be the basis of his legal challenge. If he can also show that people at the BBC were regularly posting anti Trump comments on social media then it also proves bias.

All of the above has to be proved but that is what his lawyers will be trying to achieve.

What any individual posts on social media can be discounted. Personal views do not reflect BBC policy or content. Everyone is entitled to have opinions. Only internal discipline can result. The Lineker case being the evidence. Individuals do not speak for the BBC.

Previous content too won’t be relevant. It’s only about this event. If Trump sought to open a case claiming institutional bias against him it would require a separate case.
