BBC's Glastonbury regret

The Glastonbury festival is over, but the fallout is just beginning. "British police are reviewing video footage of rap punk duo Bob Vylan's Glastonbury set after one of the artists led chants slammed by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer as 'appalling hate speech,'" CNN's Billy Stockwell reports.

This morning's UK papers are full of headlines blasting the BBC for live-streaming the performance, which included chants of "Death, death to the IDF," referencing the Israel Defense Forces. "The BBC needs to explain how these scenes came to be broadcast," Starmer said yesterday. The Israeli Embassy in the UK said the inflammatory rhetoric on stage "raises serious concerns about the normalization of extremist language and the glorification of violence."

Heading into the weekend, the BBC was already facing criticism from other quarters for preemptively saying it would not live-stream a set by hip-hop trio Kneecap. (One of the performers was recently charged with a terrorism offense after he allegedly displayed a Hezbollah flag. The band member has denied the charge.)

An edited version of Kneecap's performance was posted on-demand on the BBC iPlayer. Bob Vylan's set, meanwhile, is being kept off iPlayer, and the BBC is expressing regret that the stream was shown live.

"The team were dealing with a live situation but with hindsight we should have pulled the stream during the performance," the broadcaster said earlier today. "We regret this did not happen."

 >> The BBC holds a unique place in British life, so the scrutiny makes sense, but it's also worth recognizing that every fan at a music festival has a phone nowadays. This woman went viral for live-streaming Kneecap's entire set on TikTok and accumulating millions of views. "When there's censorship coming from large media institutions such as the BBC I think it's up to people like me to step in," she said.

The big picture re: BBC

"Bias accusations over Israel and Palestine coverage" have roiled the BBC for months, The Guardian media editor Michael Savage writes. He says concerns about the BBC's coverage of the conflict topped the list of staff concerns at a recent town hall. "BBC figures point out internal complaints come from both directions," Savage adds.

 >> Over the weekend Mehdi Hasan's Zeteo announced that it has picked up the global rights to "Gaza: Doctors Under Attack," a film that the BBC decided not to air. (The broadcaster said airing the film could create "a perception of partiality.")

What's in the bill?

When I checked The Washington Post's website this morning, the #1 most-read article was "What's in Trump and Senate Republicans' tax and immigration bill?"

A "list of nearly everything in the Senate GOP bill" is at top of The New York Times' trending page, too. And the NYT's most popular article on Facebook is an explanation of "how the GOP bill saves money." (The answer from Margot Sanger-Katz and Emily Badger: "Instead of directly reducing benefits for the poor, Republicans are making them harder to get and to keep.")

Ahead of today's Senate "vote-a-rama," CNN's Stephen Collinson says the bill is "a snapshot of the transformation and contradictions of the modern Republican Party."

Critics like David Axelrod say lawmakers are "racing to ram this bill through" because "the longer it goes...the closer you look... the uglier it gets."

Fact-checking the promises

"I'm telling the president, 'You have been misinformed,'" GOP Sen. Thom Tillis said in a remarkable floor speech last night, hours after he announced he is not seeking reelection. Tillis warned that Trump is about to "betray a promise" to voters over Medicaid — essentially saying that voters are being misled about what's in the bill. 

There is ample evidence of that misinformation campaign. Trump is "falsely saying it'll leave Medicaid 'the same' (it makes big changes and cuts), end tax on Social Security (it doesn't), and prevent a 68% tax hike (fiction)," CNN's Daniel Dale says. Read his full story with Tami Luhby here.

 >> View from the left: "Trump's bill polls terribly," Brian Beutler writes, but "the information flowing outward to the public lacks the memetic quality that so alarmed voters about Project 2025..."

Musk's (muted?) criticism

Hadas Gold writes: Elon Musk spent his 54th birthday back at it again, bashing the Senate version of the "big beautiful bill" as "utterly insane and destructive."

"It gives handouts to industries of the past while severely damaging industries of the future," he wrote Saturday. But his criticism landed with much less of a bang this time around. And so far, Senate Republicans seem less affected, perhaps because Musk is several weeks removed from the White House and with his personal relationship with the president is strained.

 >> In a chat with Maria Bartiromo that was taped before Musk's latest criticism, Trump called Musk a "wonderful guy" said the removal of "the EV mandate is a tough thing for him."
