more complaints about this presenter and in the last hour we ve heard from a second young person. your assessment in terms of where we are. the first thing to say how extraordinary it is that the bbc, as always the first to report the problems by the bbc is the bbc, and your director general has allowed himself to be brutalised, obviously knows whole no holds bars interviews. director general about thejimmy interviews. director general about the jimmy seibel case interviews. director general about thejimmy seibel case and within hours. i imagine that we can all expect that in these circumstances a new spare newspaper editor is unlikely to be that brave. the problems with bbc are absolutely a
an interview with.? or, can you help me get an interview with the prime minister? i think, you scratch my back, i ve got to scratch yours. exactly. and i also just think we should be sure of our own journalism, so we should be able to answer those questions. i think there s a misconception that reporting on social media means you don t go anywhere, you just sort of sit in a room and scroll on a phone and go on a laptop. actually, an investigation like conspiracyland takes me from totnes, a small town in devon, to just outside manchester, to quiz this conspiracy newspaper editor, and all the way to berlin, to uncover more connections. so it s definitely sort of out and about and getting to the bottom of stuff. i think that s the essence of journalism and of reporting myself. and, you know, in the series, i was just on the frontlines ofjournalism, it s one thing i keep banging on about, that i think it s important to actually get out of the office and go and see for yourself, because e
be, you oppose transgender people. just listen to what trump himself had to say about that. even he doesn t exactly know why he is attacking them. it s amazing how strongly people feel about that. you see them talking about cutting taxes, people go like that, talk about transgender, everyone goes crazy. who would have thought five years ago, you did not know what the hell it was. so, what you just heard in that video, that sounds an awful lot like, and reminiscent of what george wallace, a staunch segregationist once told a newspaper editor. quote, you know, i tried to talk about good roads and good schools, and all these things that have been part of my career, and nobody listened. and then i began talking about black people, and they stormed the floor. so, let s be clear. this is the same old gop playbook, another cynical ploy to tear the fabric of our society, and damage the idea that out of many, we are one, all because they want so desperately to regain the white

that are watch right now that may be disagreeing with what we re sighing. we re saying. lincoln from the time he got into the state legislature he said things that would shock americans if they read them alone by themselves. he was even after the emancipation talking about colonization, as you know. yep. i think about the horace greeley letter, where greeley is pushing him, the famous newspaper editor, pushing him to november harder on emancipation. lincoln, of course, as we both know, lincoln used that letter to say i don t care about slavery. i don t care about emancipation. and he s doing this because he knew the country, the north, was racist as well as the south. he said, my job is to unite the union.
