'Amidst the BBC’s formidable coverage of the war in Ukraine and the evacuation from Sudan are too many populist-leaning stories that strain after significance' // Detroit67Book

It went on: “His ­former show Tucker Carlson Tonight ­trafficked in racism, discrimination, and conspiracies on an almost nightly basis, and has shaped a generation of ­conservative grievance politics.”

As the knife twisted deeper into ­Carlson , he was further accused of disparaging ­colleagues and a lawsuit filed in March by his top booker, Abby Grossberg. However, the BBC does face a ­significant challenge to the authority of its news and current affairs output, and this ­is neither the impartiality guidelines issued from on high or the corporation’s ­resistance to fair coverage of the­debate, but what can only be described as a ­creeping populism, which risks undermining the BBC’s seriousness of purpose.

Inevitably, the item was built around an extract from Corden’s execrable ­Carpool Karaoke when he shares a duet with pop singer in the front seat of a car. In this ­latest episode he is with the singer Adele, who for reasons lost in time we have been culturally bullied into believing is a vocal genius.

At the end of his tortured posturing with Adele, the item returned to the BBC studio where the presenter Sally Nugent greeted the video with the word “wowser”. Perhaps more than balance, ­impartiality and the value of the licence fee it is the word “wowser” that poses the ­greatest threat to the BBC’s credibility as a news operation.
