Not arguing that. Of the broadcasters / big media types, I find the BBC usually one of the better ones. But then I get my news from a wide variety of sources. The Intercept is generally a very good addition to my daily intake.

I am guessing you’ve never watched (say) Fox News in the US?

I’m not saying the BBC is good per se. I’m saying it’s slightly more objective than the rest.

Actually, the World Service will remain accessible, but that’s also not where most people go these days.

And just at a time when the US really needs a decent news service…

I am sure this was discussed at the Starmer - Trump talks as a way to further isolate Americans from the truth.

I guess it’s just Al-Jazeera now…

Please, please, please, let everyone using it have the area code 666…

I definitely tried this with my (soon to be) ex-wife and my kids over a long period of time. We had “step mom appreciation night” every once in a while, and other special things.

Turns out it only helps if you’re actually telling the truth.

Sounds like you’re a great parent anyway, so props and good wishes to both of you.
