It's so sad to see the BBC caught up in all this. It used be a reputable news source, the BBC World Service was just that - listened to the world over.

Now it's this.

What do you mean by "caught up in all this"? It shouldn't report about this happening? You don't like some wording they use?

It's very clearly anti-Trump (I live in the UK). As for the article, there's this part:

"The president was criticised for ordering authorities to forcibly remove peaceful protesters from a square outside the White House so he could cross the street to take a photo in front of a church."

Wasn't it the AG that ordered the protesters to be moved?

Either way, who cares. This is HN, not reddit (although sometimes I wonder)

I think your delicate opinions will be more comfortable on gab instead of HN or reddit. Bye.

> Wasn't it the AG that ordered the protesters to be moved?

(A) Barr denies it.

(B) The buck stops at the President's desk.

The BBC has a bias, so what? They usually get their facts straight, and sometimes the spin is not to my liking, but that doesn’t mean it is poor journalism.
