Show notes

Two BBC bosses have resigned amid accusations of institutional bias within the UK public broadcaster. The criticism focuses on an edit of a speech by Donald Trump before protesters attacked the US Capitol, with many commentators calling their treatment of the speech misleading. The controversy has raised questions about the role of the BBC and public broadcasters more generally, in an increasingly polarised media landscape.
