Honestly surprised a Sky presenter is allowed to stick up for the BBC.
There was also this gem:

More brilliant PR for the Tories.
Youâd really think that after the Channel 4 sell off fiasco theyâd leave TV well alone!
My word, the tories are absolutely pros at putting oneâs foot in ones mouth . Long may it continue
I dun my resuurch
Notice how they never go after things like GB News? Which as amateur and laughable as it is, is still a news outlet. Maybe because itâs full of ex tories and their cronies⌠sounds a bit biased to me.
Well kind of the same reason they wouldnât complain about the Guardian or the Mirror for left wing bias, GB News isnât publicly funded.
My point, biased about who they go afterâŚ
Neither is CH4 but it didnât stop them.
I thought C4 was, kind of partially at least and has a public service remit.
My point is just that the BBC gets it from both sides more than other broadcasters because of how its funded.
The public service remit for Channel 4 is the provision of a broad range of high quality and diverse programming which, in particular:
- demonstrates innovation, experiment and creativity in the form and content of programmes;
- appeals to the tastes and interests of a culturally diverse society;
- makes a significant contribution to meeting the need for the licensed public service channels to include programmes of an educational nature and other programmes of educative value; and
- exhibits a distinctive character
And it has top Tory links in its management, which they think should mean toe the line but throw their toys out the pram when the BBC doesnât.
This is what I have observed, the left say it doesnât target Tories enough, the right says itâs âbiasedâ.
You must be a bit of a Michael Fabricant to sit there as a politician and say âI love watching politicians get lampoonedâ.
Either vile enough that you enjoy seeing people being abused or to daft to realise 90% of it is self inflicted by tories, when talking about bias
TL;dr:
Trumpâs lawyer is completely incompetent and E Jean Carroll will get her money. If trump tries to appeal which he has no chance of winning he will actually have to pay more. And interest is accruing daily.

What delicious schadenfreude
Got a family member going through a small civil case who is using a dude with a BA, MA and PhD from Oxford in a particular type of law, meanwhile Trump is using this person to defend against a $xxxxxxxx case; very odd choice:
Habba graduated from Kent Place School in 2002. She attended [Lehigh University](http in political science.[7][6]
Between 2005 and 2007, Habba worked in the fashion industry in accessories production and marketing with executives at Marc Jacobs. According to her, though she enjoyed the fashion industry, she decided to attend law school for financial reasons.[6] She obtained a Juris Doctor from the Widener University Commonwealth Law School in 2010
He literally chose a pretty Saul Goodman
Rudi Guliani was his lawyer for a long and Trump just didnât pay him for the last few years which lead to their monumental split. Every legal team, construction contractor, etc. he âhiresâ doesnât get paid, which is why heâs resorted to absolutely scraping the bottom of the barrel as nobody will work for him.
Another interesting turn on these concurrent trials is that if he says he canât pay the E Jean Carroll damages as he says heâs broke, heâll indict himself in the business fraud case vs NY state for over-inflating his assets and misleading investors. The dildo of consequences never comes lubed.
Realistically, the only way out of this is to win the Presidential elections and pardon himself, which would probably happen on day 1.
