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

The ongoing discourse surrounding Donald Trump's relationship with the BBC underscores a broader issue of media accountability and truthfulness in journalism. As highlighted by Margaret Sullivan, while the BBC's editing error was serious, the disproportionate response to Trump's demands raises questions about media integrity. This reflects a pattern seen in other outlets, such as the Australian ABC, which similarly faced criticism for editing Trump's remarks. Trump's ability to manipulate narratives, coupled with his extensive record of false statements, creates a complex landscape for media organizations striving to maintain credibility amidst political pressures.
