The media really does need to be objective about Trump and the BBC

Posted on

Allegations are being made today about whether the BBC is impartial.

I have just posted this comment on X:

Those discussing impartiality should be pointing out that Trump needs to get some decent legal advice because any claim for $1 billion in damages is going nowhere in the UK, especially as he won the 2024 election and has subsequently massively increased his personal fortune, making it almost impossible to imagine how he could prove he has lost anything even if the BBC did commit errors of judgement. This is the sort of case where £1 damages look likely, even if the claimant wins. He should be warned that this has happened.
