The BBC has at the very heart of it's charter the requirement that it at least attempt to be unbiased and impartial.

It has spectacularly failed to do that when it comes to Brexit and also Trump.

Trump has made his fair share of stupid statements and comments. All he has done has not been perfect or even correct in some areas. That said by the law of averages there has to have been some things that he has done which have been working/successful.

As mentioned by another poster the one sided reporting and intentionally derogatory way in which Trump has been treated by the media in general is starting to backfire as all but the most blinkered anti Trumpers are realising that it is utterly one sided and playing to a liberal 'established political players' agenda. This in turn is playing into Trump's 'Fake News' stance as they are making themselves look ridiculous and un reliable by only playing one side of the story.

.
The problem is that there are NO things which he has done which are working or have been an success.
If you think I'm wrong, please tell me what you think he has done well in the first 100 days.

He is a total failure

No that doesn't apply here - the BBC's job is to report the truth.

If the facts are that Trump is an incompetent, unqualified moron with no understanding of the office he holds and no regard for democracy, then that's what should be reported.

In this case, as with Brexit, to provide balance would be to show things that are simply not true.

She's very wary of conflict ever since dodging that sniper fire in Bosnia.....But then she may well have taken after her husband Bill and refused to do anything, much like he did with Rwanda.

This!

I'm not suggesting Trump is perfect. And I'm not saying give him a free ride. But the anti Trump nonsense is bloody constant from the News. (and Anti Brexit as well! But that's for another thread) He could give out millions of dollars to people in the street and the CNN/BBC of this world would spin it as something negative

To be fair, he's not going to be any worse than every president since Ronnie Reagan.

Apart from Obama, they are all just front men.
Obama achieved nothing.
Well, nothing except dropping a bomb on average every 17 minutes of his two terms.

If he achieved nothing then why are the GoP set on demolishing all he accomplished?


Trump doesnt deserve respect, and he is getting fair treatment imo.

He's done nothing apart from play golf and try to destroy the country and its international relations. This is through ignorance and stupidity rather than design too.

He didnt even know what GDP was ffs and hes supposed to be a business man.

Bigoted hateful sexist moron

Just don't mention the Trump administrations similar servers, private emails, or the Republicans party, nor the instruction to Trumps team to purge emails, messages on phones etc.

How fairly did Trump ever treat any of his opponents? how fairly did he treat the landowners who refused to sell when he built his golf course in Scotland. After embarrassing levels of sucking up, the government stripped him of his status as 'Global Scot' (lol) and Robert Gordon University withdrew his honorary degree. So unfair

So what has he done that is "working/successful" then?
