The BBC should not be forced to apologise for conveying an undeniable historical fact:
DONALD TRUMP INCITED THE J6 RIOT/INSURRECTION
People losing their minds over this (or, likely, pretending to) to dig out the BBC

And what do you get for that? I’m guessing not 4 channels offering a variety of content and viewpoint, plus 7 radio channels with huge range and commissioned drama and documentaries and cultural support for musical events and educational resources for all ages #BackTheBBC
No single US news source is consumed by more than 25% of Americans, whereas 60% of Brits regularly watch/read/listen to the BBC.
That makes it very hard for partisan echo chambers to form.

BBC have been in an abusive & coercive relationship with the Tory’s for too long. Run by them “by proxy” and then repeatedly being told they’re not good enough and they’ll take their money away for not towing the party line. #backthebbc#backlineker
Whoop whoop celebrating 100 years of the #bbc @bbcproms with what promises to be an amazing new work. Now here’s something worth celebrating @backthebbc . Only the bbc would commission this kind of stuff or this festival.
Today on To The Point:
A House of Lords Select Committee has been looking at new ways to fund the BBC and if the licence fee is in fact fit for purpose.
Should we be forced to pay money towards something we may not even use?

I agree. I do think that the BBC have erred in recent years to some extent by not being impartial enough, but I’ve grown increasingly uncomfortable with the ongoing campaign to defund it. Even though they did me out of my free TV licence! #BackBorisJohnson#backtheBBC
I'm perplexed. The Levelling Up White Paper refers to "the world's best broadcaster." Is this the same BBC that a fortnight ago the UK government seemed intent on dismantling? #RhetoricalQuestion#BackTheBBC
The only group questioning the future of the BBC Licence Fee are linked to a particular libertarian faction of the Tory Party and their online trolls (who funds them)? That was evident when the issue was debated in parliament a couple of weeks ago. @DavidSillitoBBC#backthebbc
The world respected British Broadcasting Corporation, the best broadcaster in the world, to be brought to its knees by the worst person to be a Cabinet Minister in history ? Don’t let it happen. #BacktheBBC
