A comparison of the original and edited footage shows how the BBC selectively edited a Donald Trump speech, resulting in the organisation being accused of making it appear clearer that he encouraged the US Capitol attack. An edition of Panorama, broadcast a week before the 2024 US election, spliced together clips of a Trump speech made on 6 January 2021. The spliced clip suggested that Trump told the crowd: 'Were going to walk down to the Capitol and Ill be there with you, and we fight. We fight like hell.' The words were taken from sections of his speech almost an hour apart. Tim Davie, the BBCs director general; and the head of BBC News have since resigned

Voting Rules

The pattern is unmistakable. Some prominent right-wing figures are already calling for Trump to declare a national emergency in order to justify dictating new election rules to the states. I fully expect the Trump Regime to contest every election result using the courts, the bully pulpit, law enforcement, and the military rather than cede any power.

Ex-CNN host says he knows how media can bring Trump to his knees
Ex-CNN anchor Jim Acosta has an idea of how media companies can stand up to President Donald Trump.
Acosta said in an interview with MeidasTouch that The Associated Press should consider suing the administration over its decision to indefinitely bar the news service from the Oval Office and Air Force One. The decision came after the AP decided to not change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America in its coverage.
I think that the AP should look at whether or not they should sue the administration. I think the AP needs to look at other options in terms of what can be done, Acosta said on Tuesday.

House Republicans advised to avoid in-person town halls amid protests
House Republicans are being encouraged to avoid in-person town halls in favor of phone and livestreamed versions, advice that comes after constituents and activists rocked recent GOP events by expressing outrage about the Trump administrations dramatic moves to reshape the federal government.
SNIP
National Republican Congressional Committee Chair Richard Hudson (R-N.C.) told House Republicans at a closed-door conference meeting Tuesday morning that members should opt for tele-town halls or livestreamed events that can reach more people, rather than in-person town halls that can be hijacked by Democratic activists.

I think they just urged us to be more targeted and wheres, who were talking to, because its pretty clear that theyve got professional instigators, people that are showing up that are not even constituents, Burchett said. And its getting dangerous.

Steve Bannon's 'Days of Thunder'
President Donald Trumps dizzying three weeks have prompted many in the media to revisit a famous Steve Bannon line: To win, the Right needs to flood the zone with political action or, more pungently, with bullsh**. Is that whats going on right now, Ben asked the MAGA movements media guru in a long interview this week.
Of course. Its worked, he said. The media is a complete total meltdown. MSNBC, he said, keeps pushing outrages to the C block of programming. When things start going wrong, Trump merely has to turn to standup: He goes all Mort Sahl on you, and he triggered you guys and they never went back to the hearings. It all comes back to Marshall McLuhan:
Everything is media. Media is the message, and Trump understands that, Bannon said. Thats why the Cabinet is all TV guys.https://www.semafor.com/newsletter/02/09/2025/big-game?utm_source=newslettershare&utm_medium=media&utm_campaign=flagshipnumbered1
