LBC have John Sopel, Simon Marks and Matt Frie on their roster.
They are all very experienced commentators on US politics and say it how it is.
Much better than the vanilla Beeb.

They are in a right mess (which is just where Trump would like them to be). I still wonder how much Gibb & Davie are 'suggesting' the tone of reporting, either out of cowardice, or because of sympathies.

I suspect this is probably exactly how he intended it. I do agree the ambiguity is not helpful. I also don't believe that in such cases there is a need for "balance" as the BBC always likes to say. It is possible for a news outlet to make it quite clear what Trump is doing without the need to qualify it.

Facts are facts. Opinions are largely irrelevant.

Speaking of opinions. Maybe the BBC are using Lyse Doucet to "balance" O'D?

More "balance". This time from LBC, as suggested above.

I suppose the Mad King Donald thing keeps Epstein away from the headlines. Though I think he needs to tone it down now.
