Trump can get away with saying what he likes about the BBC. But Epstein? That’s his one vulnerability | Jonathan Freedland

Donald Trump's recent attacks on the BBC illustrate his tendency to manipulate narratives without regard for truth, a behavior noted in various media critiques. For instance, Margaret Sullivan emphasizes that while the BBC's editing error was serious, the backlash against it is disproportionate, suggesting that media should not yield to Trump's demands. Similarly, reports of other broadcasters, like Australia's ABC, committing similar editorial mistakes reflect a broader issue in journalism. Trump's ability to evade accountability, despite his extensive record of false statements, raises questions about the integrity of media responses and the implications for democratic discourse.
