The two presenters in that studio work for ITN, so this was shown on ITV. Again, it is not just the BBC that is infected with this ideology, the vast majority of media - free and subscription based - is. Whether its Tory shaming and woke promotion by Channel 4, climate change activism by Sky, Cuties on Netflix or the firing of Maajid Nawaz on the grounds that he dared question lockdown and the vaccines by LBC.
As advocates for journalistic integrity and ethics, it is important that Grimes, who wrote the tweet and pinned it wrongly on the BBC, be called up on his mistake and hopefully correct it. Otherwise he's become as ideological as the opposition he rallies against.
Also, did any of them report on the raiding of Republic, the republican campaign group, the arrest of its CEO and the kettling and arrest of anyone showing pro-republic sentiment or rhetoric by the Metropolitan Police yesterday while everyone was distracted by the pomp and ceremony using a law that came in conveniently in the last few days to deal with "disruptive behaviour" such as disagreeing with the Government or monarchy?
I heard some almost identical sentiments from some black dude who was on the BBC coverage…
It wasn’t just her, lol.
So at that point I said “Fuck it” and turned it off. 🤷🏻♂️
While I agree regarding the Republic crackdown being a disgrace, and the whole thing being a waste of money, a lot of people clearly enjoyed the occasion, and I think that’s ok. We really don’t need to turn it into another culture war/race war charade. Plenty of other occasions for that.
This is the first time in 70 years the dumb thing has happened. May as well let people make the most of it while it lasts, imho…
I can only go with the evidence that I can see. Even this morning while listening to Talk Radio (and Talk TV), there are people who simply refuse to believe that ITV aired this and it was only on the BBC. Even though in the clip going around social media, you can clearly see Julie Etchingham and Tom Bradby presenting, both work for ITV's News at Ten and ITV's Coronation coverage.
I don't know if it is cognitive dissonance, disbelief, bias or a mixture of any of them that is making people think that only the BBC is woke and commercial broadcasters can not be woke. The Mandela Effect in effect?
No-one has presented any clips of the BBC coverage where someone made such a comment. Though I would not be surprised if it did happen.
In terms of the republican protests, I keep hearing that argument that it wasn't the right time. The problem is, there is never a right time. If it was Sunday or today, the argument would be that its too soon and disrespectful. If it's next Saturday, there'd be complaints that its harming the UK's reputation on the night of the Eurovision Song Contest. If it's a year later, they'd be told it's inappropriate because we're a traditional monarchy and there is no debate to be had. Same in a decade, century and so on. And that's if we're allowed to have the debate, because if one person finds the idea of republicanism "disruptive" or "offensive"...

Who runs ITV, I wonder. #MoreFeminineWay
Edit : I should have pretended it was Jews. People don't like the truth.
