Shouldn't post in grief, but to reiterate that the staff at Manchester Royal Infirmary, both AMU (ICU) and palliative care, were just outstanding; not only in clinical care but humanity, sensitivity, care and consideration. Heroic humans who made my stepfather's last days comfortable and peaceful.

About 75% of entries transcribe the false claims. The small number of counterpoint are in 'he said, she said' fashion

It is very much inferior to other outlets & absurd to post 30 seconds of video without putting any of the reporting resource into analysing the source, vs transcribing false claims

How on earth can the BBC still be relaying this demonstrably untrue information into its reporting at 942pm, without even "balancing" the false account, when they have the video footage & the analysis of it

That BBC coverage is timestamped 942pm

The misinformation it contains was demonstrated to be clearly untrue almost 3 hours before that

Minneapolis live: Man, 37, shot dead by federal agents in Minneapolis The shooting follows days of protests in the city over the Trump administration's immigration enforcement operation.

Entries are absurdly unbalanced, to favour US govt false statements, in a scenario where "sharply contested" both sides reporting would be highly inadequate

BBC are here being a real time conduit of the misinformation that they say their mission is to verify+counter

The BBC coverage is absolutely terrible.

It leads on "sharply contested narratives"

It has a dramatic skew to the US government

It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue
