Sky News Daily ·

2025/07/22

Warning: This episode contains themes of racism and homophobia which listeners may find upsetting. No gays, no Jews, and definitely no non-whites. It’s messaging that reminds us of a segregated United States – a time that apparently ended in the 1960s.

The group says it’s about freedom and community - but critics say it’s “pure white supremacist

Sky News Daily ·

2025/07/14

The BBC breached its own editorial rules when it did not explain that a 13-year-old used to narrate a documentary about Gaza was, in fact, the son of a Hamas official.
