Extraordinary
Nick Bryant The arrest of a 56-year-old registered Republican voter for the series of parcel bombs sent to prominent critics of President Trump led BBC One's *News at Six *tonight. Nick Bryant's report was notable for way it lurched midway from straight reporting into editorialising: The initial response from the White House this morning *was extraordinary* - the President not condemning the attacks but raising questions about their timing, with vital congressional elections just eleven days away. That was a senior BBC reporter passing judgment on the present US president.
Reality Recheck
Further to yesterday's post about the BBC's Reality Check being giving its own reality check by Tom Slater of *spiked*, Tom has now written a piece about it for *The Spectator *headlined *The BBC is wrong: university censorship is definitely not a myth*. He describes the BBC's report as "incredibly partial" and ends by saying: And it’s also ironic that on Wednesday, 24 hours after the BBC ‘Fact Check’ was published, students at Oxford voted to ban a controversial Christian group from Lady Margaret Hall. If campus censorship is a myth, someone should probably tell them.

The 80th Anniversary of the Kristallnacht
Tomorrow is the 80th anniversary of Kristallnacht, what are the chances of the BBC commemorating this event? How about the Labour Party? Or are elements of that party readying themselves for implementing a future clampdown on Jews? Ironically in October 1938 Germany the streets were full of people shouting: "Juden Raus! Auf Nach Palästina!" ("Jews out, out to Palestine!"). Somewhat different from today, where will the antisemites want Jews to go the next time? 80 years may have passed but the evil continues.

A thank you note
I'm one of the millions who sent money to make the Gosnell movie. Today I received another nice "thank you." "Yes, your support has meant that a baby will not be killed in an abortion. It will survive thanks to you. This extraordinary miracle happened when a group went to see the Gosnell Movie in Bakersfield. A group of moms was so moved and motivated by the film that they decided to go and stand at a nearby abortion clinic with their small children. There they met a woman going for an abortion and with their babies they inspired her not to go in." The power of a well made film wi... more »

Encryption by Default Equals National Security
The New York Times reported a mind-boggling story on Oct. 24. The president of the United States routinely ignores the advice of his aides and calls old friends on an unsecured iPhone “no different from hundreds of millions of iPhones in use around the world.” There are policy reasons why this is bad. These calls don’t get logged by the White House and hence aren't noted by his senior aides. But there's also a serious security issue: According to the Times, apparently both the Russians and the Chinese are listening in to these unsecured calls. We are paying the price for decades o... more »
