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.
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.
