      The BBC have been getting worse and worse about this. Back when I had a twitter account, I’d screenshot their mistakes, circle them in red, give corrections and tell them “Must do better.”

      That is tame for them. I’m convinced no one prof reads their articles anymore.

    I look forward to Republicans in the House holding hearings to get to the bottom of this. Because Republicans held hearings when they accused social media of censoring conservative opinions. Because Republicans care about free speech. And even though this effects free speech of the other party, Republicans still care about free speech, right? Republicans will hold social media companies accountable for any censorship of political speech, right? Guys? There are going to be hearings right? Well, at least if not journalists are going to press those committee members about the inconsistency, right? Journalists will surely do their jobs. Right guys?
