So far, only one political leader is prepared to mount an outspoken defence of the BBC
So far, the only British political leader prepared to mount an outspoken defence of the BBC is Sir Ed Davey.
The Liberal Democrat argues that seeing the White House take credit for Mr Davie's downfall - and attacking the BBC - "should worry us all".
He's called on the PM and all British political leaders to stand united in "telling Trump to keep his hands off it".
Without bias the Lib Dems would struggle, as would all political parties, but Ed Davey has taken the unusual step of effectively admitting it.

Why does anyone care what Ed Davey says?
Why can't Ed Davey become the new BBC DG? Then he could bring back 'It's a Knockout'!
Chris - good point, nobody does apart from Ed and he probably doesn't listen to himself closely.
Tammly - and he could make sure they stick to entertainment instead of the serious stuff which they can't do anyway.
Weird Ed and Dafty Davey: this appalling pair may form a coalition government in 2029. You have been warned!
I was astounded to find out that the BBC still do 'Points of View'. I always felt that it was used as a way of showing that viewers were mistaken in their criticisms, so I stopped watching it (and the rest of the BBC too).
dearieme - yes it's a scary thought, both mad and unscrupulous.
DJ - I didn't know it still trundles on, although I haven't watched it for many years, even when I watched BBC. Yes - too easy to manipulate into a way of showing that viewers were mistaken.
