Between cup and lip


The BBC News Channel broadcast live President Trump's address to the nation. At its conclusion Simon McCoy (one of my favourite BBC presenters), obviously thinking on his feet, let slip a bit of BBC groupthink. talking of how "The decision by the United States to pull out of that deal [i.e. the Iran nuclear deal, the JCPOA] many say precipitated this current crisis in the Middle East". I think we can safely assume that "many say" here means "many at the BBC say". Very BBC.

  1. There's no hiding the disappointment among the BBC and left-liberal UK MSM more generally that the crisis seems to be winding down, albeit temporarily. They were clearly hoping it was going to become a military quagmire that would prevent Trump's re-election.

    Yet again, Trump has shown he is a far wilier operator than his opponents.
