Cable news is all Trump, all the time

The BBC has no choice but to teach Trump a lesson about free speech​


So, Donald Trump’s Big Beautiful BBC writ has finally arrived, and it does not disappoint. We are invited to believe that the US president is a man of almost saintly virtue whose unblemished reputation—and business prospects—have been irreparably tarnished by one lousy Panorama programme.


Trump asserts that the BBC had the “express intent of interfering with [the 2024 presidential election] and trying to undermine President Trump’s odds of winning re-election”. He wants “compensatory and punitive damages” of no less than $5bn and, depending on how you read his claim, as much as $10bn.

Go read the 1st amendment again, Hugo. It does not apply to the BBC or to Trump's lawsuit against them.
