In a display of the media's ongoing fixation with President Trump, the BBC has launched an exhaustive analysis of his posts on Truth Social. Utilizing a team of producers, data analysts, and graphics designers, the state-funded British broadcaster sifted through thousands of entries to track the timing and content of the President’s digital footprint.

While the BBC frames this as a deep-dive investigation, it serves as another example of legacy media outlets obsessed with monitoring the President’s direct line to his supporters.

By attempting to quantify and categorize his rhetoric, the network continues its long-standing tradition of dissecting Trump’s every move rather than focusing on the substantive policy issues that matter to the average voter.

This project, led by Ros Atkins, highlights the vast resources global media organizations are willing to deploy in their relentless pursuit of the Trump administration.
