Does The BBC Get Its Trump Coverage Right?
How do we cover a headline-grabbing former president who falsely claims he never lost the election?

HOSTS:
• Justin Webb, Radio 4 presenter
• Sarah Smith, North America editor
• Marianna Spring, disinformation and social media correspondent
GUESTS:
• Paul Danahar, BBC News Foreign Editor
• Adam Levy, BBC News Channel Executive Producer
