Europe should take the fight to America, just by reporting accurately what is going on there and broadcasting it to the World.
Do the opposite of what the BBC is doing....

For the last few years I've been running a proxy of the BBC News RSS feeds (https://bbc-feeds.danq.dev) that strips out duplicate content, non-news content, and (optionally) sports news.
This weekend, for the first time, somebody asked if it could produce an edition that included only the sports content. Which turned out to be slightly more difficult, because it's the kind of scope-creep that my "uninterested-in-sports-news" brain couldn't conceive that anybody would want! But I got there in the end.
If anybody's looking for their fill of "BBC News Feeds... But Better!", give it a look.

UN panel says Israel operating 'de facto policy of torture'
Rights groups gave harrowing details about conditions in Israeli detention centres. Israel has not responded but has previously denied allegations of torture.

The BBC censors a lecture by historian Rutger Bregman to avoid offending Donald Trump.
In one line, Bregman says Trump is the most openly corrupt president in US history. Because that is what Bregman's research shows.
But the BBC values Trump's feelings over facts, and has now cut this sentence from the lecture.
3% of requests to www.bbc.co.uk & www.bbc.com have a `user-agent` of OKHttp.
Part of that 3% is a single IP in Turkey which is making nearly 3 million request per day using OKHttp on it's own.
Being on the internet is fun.

Hier moet Bregman de BBC eigenlijk voor bedanken, veel gratis PR nu en de feitelijke boodschap die hij wilde overbrengen wordt nu overal herhaald, "Trump als meest openlijk corrupte VS-president"

“De schrijver denkt dat de beslissing van de #BBC te maken heeft met de druk vanuit Amerika en noemt dat ironisch, omdat "de lafheid van de elites van vandaag" volgens hem centraal stond in zijn lezing. Het ging over "universiteiten, bedrijven en ja, mediaorganisaties die op de knieën gaan voor autoritarisme", aldus #Bregman.”
