Fascinating line on BBC Radio News this morning that October Films did not do the ‘misleading’ Trump edit. Which suggests somebody from Panorama did.

'We have the BBC Media Editor reporting that some people in the BBC are talking about a coup' Former broadcast executive Stewart Purvis told #BBCBreakfast it's been a dramatic 24 hours after BBC director general Tim Davie and CEO of News Deborah Turness resigned on Sunday night,

This an extraordinarily detailed account of the BBC crisis by one of its best informed journalists.
What has happened...what is happening at the BBC? In normal times you might be forgiven for dismissing that question as naval gazing by journalists who can't resist talking about themselves. In normal times I'd be inclined to agree with you. These, though, are not normal times.

A very significant new take on the BBC crisis from its Media Editor. I will give my own view this morning on @BBCBreakfast and @SkyNews

There may be more to this than meets the eye, says the BBC's culture and media editor.

The train has given up in the middle of nowhere, for #BrentfordFC fans it’s a long way to Grimsby but we’ll get there in time one way or another.
Travel alert: #brentfordfc fans stuck on a train in the middle of Lincolnshire because a railway bridge isn’t working properly. We may get sent back to Doncaster. Bound to have effect on later trains to @officialgtfc

"For the 1st time ever Ofcom seems to be allowing pols to present ‘news, in whatever form’ within non-news programmes but will then consider ... whether the content is impartial" Great summary from Chris Banatlava & @StewartPurvis on Ofcom's non-resolution to The GB News Problem
Has Ofcom’s ‘Plan B’ for regulating Nigel Farage passed Lisa Nandy’s Test? My take on what @Ofcom has and hasn’t announced about impartiality and #GB News. https://t.co/rcKhnexLD1

Legislation to ensure impartiality in news broadcasting should be a fundamental requirement for democracy but recent “loose” interpretations of the rules show that it’s at risk. Join @Stephen_Cushion at our conference on 26 November to discuss this
The biggest piece of research yet done on impartiality and GB News. Ofcom needs to take account of this evidence before deciding its next steps.

Never thought I’d do one podcast interview about everything from government policy and the future of TV news to drunken presenters and ‘nipple-gate’.
🚨 New podcast! I talk to @StewartPurvis — ex-ITN boss & former @Ofcom regulator — about Lisa Nandy’s GB News intervention, impartiality in broadcasting, & ITV at 70. Plus: his infamous “nipple-gate” moment with Princess Diana 👀 🎧 Listen: https://t.co/BGTXW6NZ4j

Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy says ‘we intend to act’.
‘Nigel Farage's GB News show is eroding public trust in the news, the Culture Secretary has claimed. Lisa Nandy said the channel's viewers do not know whether they are watching unbiased news or "political polemic presented as news".’
