Next week with Trump in UK for NATO there could be developments around media. My guess is that the election is very polarised around age, with related gaps in media. Conservative voters older and newspapers, Labour younger more social media. Telly somewhere in the middle. BBC mostly aligned with right newspapers.
Channel 4 did the climate debate and were ready to mix it with Johnson / Cummings. BBC caved in, invited Johnson to Marr show. He was able to cover all points he wanted to for the election, not a special event. Twitter not very impressed but maybe the newspapers tomorrow will accept it.
Links so far to Guardian Media tomorrow in print, looks at BBC in detail.
Also New York Times has noticed the extent of lies and compares Johnson to Trump.
Hard to tell the dynamics of this. Loss of confidence in BBC is spreading fast but what age level? Can newspapers carry on anyway? Trump may be reported outside UK in ways we can still find. Any clues welcome.
Blog as outline without any detail. sometimes all that can be tried.
The backstory is the way #BBC has failed to engage with @carolecadwalladr . #Marr today had no way to counter the stream of lies from Johnson. Still unknown what happened in 2016 but some sort of link #Trump #Brexit is clear enough. #BBC seems reluctant to report on this as they made too many errors during the referendum. Explanation coming from outside the UK , most likely. Not sure when.
