The BBC have censored the Reith lecture. It's just a small change, but I guess they are reluctant to face a lawsuit from someone with bottomless pockets, and dodgy judges.
“They deleted the sentence in which I described Donald Trump as the most openly corrupt president in American history. That line is gone.
“It has been removed from the version broadcast this morning on BBC Radio 4.
“Last Wednesday, I was told the sentence was being discussed with US lawyers and at the highest levels inside the BBC.
“For days, they couldn’t give me an answer. Yesterday they finally did, and the irony could not be bigger, because this lecture, titled A Time Of Monsters, is exactly about the cowardice of today’s elites, about universities, corporations, and yes, media networks, bending the knee to authoritarianism.
“I find it hard to express how shocked I am at the BBC’s decision.”
