Fully agree.
The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.

It is remarkable bordering on shocking how UK political debate still obsesses over small boats and other issues that will not be all that significant in the broad arc of history even as the basic foundations of the global system unravel
We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

A White House videographer, who was traveling backward up the escalator to film the president’s entrance, may have inadvertently triggered a built-in safety mechanism.
For many, the incident was trivial. But for the Trump admin, it was grounds for an investigation.
