With Trump the misogynist & sexual abuser about to take office it seems the situation will only worsen.

ooaabarbara.bsky.social•49 days ago

Er …… the media have massive responsibility for the treatment of Jess Phillips

cdtplug.bsky.social•49 days ago

How about sky ignores musk, problem sorted.

tweedlerc.bsky.social•49 days ago

Rigby, Sky News, GMB, BBC etc never raised a wimper when none of the recommendations of the report were made and not acted on. Not once.

tomh80.bsky.social•49 days ago

That's because this is just performative nonsense. Not that the cause isn't just or that misogyny isn't as bad or worse than ever, but I've watched Beth cosy up to the Tories for years. I know that's part of the job when you work for sky but she made it look easy.She could go elsewhere, she doesn't.

We need coverage that calls out politicians acting in bad faith. Reform are using this as a barely disguised proxy for their racism. Musk to help push the far right and SYL. Badenoch to out-Reform Reform. None of those give a damn about the victims. Our politics is being led to a veryvdark place.

Don’t do sky

hotchkiss13.bsky.social•49 days ago

Meantime msm collude with those who deploy this hatred .

richardbarge.bsky.social•49 days ago

Oh hello you! Since your post-election meltdown/breakdown I’ve stopped reading /watching what you have to say, which has been lovely. I have to say that with this analysis you are slowly working towards an inkling of understanding about the toxic environment you’ve been part of. Keep going

jimbuck.bsky.social•49 days ago

And who in the house have shown they are not prepared to defend her?

cbomg.bsky.social•49 days ago

If only there were any journalists in the last 10 years who had held the ruling party accountable.
Fawning over corrupt conservative ministers has not really helped has it?

tomh80.bsky.social•49 days ago

Do you think sky newa and other msm have any responsibility for this? I know you can't bite the hand that feeds you but over a decade of the Tories is a big part of why things are the way they are and sky didn't exactly do much about it.

dudleydebeau.bsky.social•49 days ago

And where is most of this stoking originating?

X marks the spot Beth. Don’t be afraid to call it out every time

garrystone.bsky.social•49 days ago

Philp, Tice and the rest were all over Sky this weekend fomenting false outrage - with zero pushback. Zero. Sky is silent on the failure of any single Tory to defend Jess Philips - some have even amplified Musks vitriol. Why the reticence, yet again, to tell it like it is?

cdtplug.bsky.social•49 days ago

She is owned by Comcast I believe and big trump fans.

cognoggler.bsky.social•49 days ago

No, it tells us all we need to know about the Tories. Disgusting people.

ppoppe.bsky.social•49 days ago

It’s been suggested elsewhere that his intervention “brought movement from the government” implying zero action was planned. Where’s the evidence for this?

apemalo.bsky.social•49 days ago

Call these arseholes out please. It's time these shitty people were held to account for the lies they spread.

suew.bsky.social•43 days ago

And you in the press and media in this country have help contribute towards it.

neutrin0.bsky.social•49 days ago

Analysis? You take a self-selecting sample as valid data about an overall culture? You give both journalists and women a bad name.

mimij9.bsky.social•48 days ago

At last!

Some serious journalism from you. You are 100% correct.

smilo998.bsky.social•49 days ago

The silence from the Opposition is deafening, as if they think there are no consequences for them and obviously the begging bowl is out and pointed towards Musk.

wulfsternhammer.bsky.social•49 days ago

So what are you going to about it? Nothing I suspect.

Instead you'll continue to follow the rest of the "journalistic profession" by publishing every fart, shit and ketamine addled post that emits from Musk as "News" and demand that our legitimately elected government responds to it.

amsardar.bsky.social•49 days ago

Thsi storm was confected by GBNews - which is now the Fox News of the UK right. The UK Media are taking hteir cues from them.
Shame on GB News.

bazz87.bsky.social•49 days ago

So why aren’t you calling it out at every opportunity? Including calling out those who happen to be pulling your purse strings!

tomh80.bsky.social•49 days ago

Bingo.

lonixmk.bsky.social•49 days ago

Surprised Beth Rigby didn't try to blame Keir Starmer. You made your bed Beth, now go lay in it with Reform and bigots and racists. Oh and don't forget the Nazis, they need a cuddle from your kind.
