Misk your takes are normally pretty good, but not this time.

• Pretty much every journalist still uses Twitter, and yes they pay for the blue badge. The BBC themselves pay Twitter even more for a gold badge. You've used loaded language to frame a completely normal thing as a negative to smear this journalist.

• Owen Jones is not just "some political influencer" (once again loaded language), he is a journalist who writes for The Guardian and contributes to the New Statesman, Tribune, and The National and was previously a columnist for The Independent.

• If Owen Jones has somehow faked this evidence, the BBC will be coming after him for libel. This is not something he would do for shits and giggles, making such a claim has strong real world implications that he must feel comfortable that he can defend in a court of law.

BBC was especially blatant during Gulf War 2 also.

Fucking wild seeing people running to defend the journalistic standards of openly genocidal Zionist BBC in 2026. Have you not learned anything over the past 2+ years of genocide of Palestinians?
