Stephen Moore from the Heritage Foundation runs through a whole load of Trumpist disinformation on #BBCToday
There is very little challenge, nobody debating with him, no attempt to fact check his nonsense
This is how fascism flourishes: because the gatekeepers fail in their essential role

In the process they have alienated much of there core support.
Which, of course, was the entire raison d'etre of the tory appointees
If we do not object EVERY TIME to the stations and advertisers it will continue
And the fascists know it.
Concluding a feature on the Canadian boycott of US travel, goods and services, Evan Davies invited pro-Trump listeners to contact him with examples of how they are deliberately buying *more* US goods to show their support!
We need to evolve new media systems and let the old ones become obsolete.
But not now.
I don’t think it’s necessarily fully biased, I think Emily Maitlis was right @ erroneous both-siding
They're arguably better than many of the alternative outlets, but they still platform fascist talking points, and often fail to push back in any meaningful way.

Please see above
Who’s ever running the Democratic Party that stand up and identify!!!!!
Robinson called his desire to "aquire" Greenland "a breach of diplomacy"!
Similar breaches by Saddam, Putin, Hitler, etc. were 'invasions'.
Xi must be emailing #r4today right now to book a Taiwanese 'acquisition' PR slot with Robinson.
they don’t want to hear debate
they wanna see the boots of hate smash that venerable group collective face
it’s all their audience wants
literally no hope, no joy, just the need to watch the vulnerable hurt
and a constant escalate
This week, A BBC journalist concluded a radio piece on the boycott of US goods, travel, etc. by asking UK Trump supporters to contact him if they had actually increased their spend on US goods in support of him.
Utterly unnecessary and on a flagship BBC news show.
I despair.
No one should be inviting Stephen Moore on their show at all, and if they do, they should be prepared to counter his falsehoods (difficult because how do you counter something he makes up out of whole cloth using fake stats?).
Why else would Farage/Reform be promoted at any and every opportunity?
Shouting at the radio didn’t work!
Mr Moore and the Darkly funded #TuftonStMob influence abounds.

The same billionaires who put Trump in power, are now coming for Australia’s democracy.
Musk has already posted about our elections, and he signed a Starlink deal that may interfere with our election. 🤬
I'm sad to hear the BBC wasn't even able to push back, because Heritage is working with their violent far right.
Stop normalizing this behavior, world.
It's not what the BBC say that matters, it's their failure to challenge the lies and disinformation that's downright dangerous.
If an essentially right wing print media decide what the headlines are, you don’t need to parrot them.
Hence after the referendum there was very little discussion on the detail on the BBC - with what little there was dismissed as nerdy.
There were times when that was obvious but they never dared challenge - I assume fearing loss of access?
