BBC apologizes to Trump but rejects basis for his billion-dollar lawsuit threat

[Nuthin' Fancy]

It's not about money. It's about destroying fake news.

Trump and his cult ARE fake news.

You think Trump is going to let such an opportunity go?

Of course not, Trump is a dumb ass who thinks American laws apply everywhere in the world, just like his cult.

Your naivety is what's moronic.

See above, DIP SHIT,

Yeah, I got it. BBC's is now squarely fake news. They'll never recover. It is in the nature of reputations; another one bites the dust, a big one.

LOL

I liked the Canadian production that John Byner did in the 80's. Bizarre was a great show as well. Loved Super Dave Osborne.

Yeah Super Dave was funny too. Such a dry delivery but it worked.

It's what Trump and his cult say.
Anything to disparage Trump is FAKE.

Let everyone know when they collapse.

 

[blackhawk]

There was almost an hour between the two parts the BBC edited together it is very hard to see that as unintentional.

In this case it is, and BBC is collapsing in front of our eyes, at least a legitimate non-fake news source.

What's done is done, irreparably.

You may as well source BBC if you're going to source other fake news.

Trump, FOX or "truth" social?

BBC SCUM.

Go Mr. President!

According to Sky News President Trump did not accept the apology and will go forward with a lawsuit. Which of course BBC rejects.

I get that Trump is angry because this had been run a week before the election in 2024, I'm not sure a big lawsuit is the right play here. He should demand they make a large donation to a U.S charity or two, perhaps the homeless or Vet group in the U.S and a public announcement of committed change for being a reporter of news, more balanced etc.

For the record, I think editing also occurred by a media company in Australia and a Swedish media company.

There is no doubt that if an organization is not reporting the news accurately but are looking to manipulate the news and misrepresenting what people say that is evidence of real problems. There should be consequences, I'm just not sure if a lawsuit is the right path. Does he really want to put 200 BBC workers out of a job because their leaders, who have already resigned; were politically biased?

Trump doesn't need the money so why not gain other benefits by taking the high road while actually obtaining change?

The BBC apologized Thursday to U.S. President Donald Trump over a misleading edit of his speech on Jan. 6, 2021, but said it had not defamed him, rejecting the basis for his $1-billion US lawsuit threat.

The British network said its chair, Samir Shah, sent a personal letter to the White House saying that he and the corporation were sorry for the edit of the speech Trump gave before some of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol as Congress was poised to certify the results of U.S. president-elect Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 election.

The BBC said there are no plans to rebroadcast the documentary, which had spliced together parts of his speech that came almost an hour apart.


"We accept that our edit unintentionally created the impression that we were showing a single continuous section of the speech, rather than excerpts from different points in the speech, and that this gave the mistaken impression that President Trump had made a direct call for violent action," the BBC wrote in a retraction.

Apology demanded​

Trump's lawyer had sent the BBC a letter demanding an apology and threatened to file a $1 billion US lawsuit for the harm the documentary caused him. It had set a Friday deadline for the public broadcaster to respond.

While the BBC statement doesn't respond to Trump's demand that he be compensated for "overwhelming financial and reputational harm," the headline on its news story about the apology said it refused to pay compensation.

Problem is, he can't sue in the UK because the time has run out, you have 12 months to start the process. That ended last month.

It didn't broadcast in the US.

Where is he going to sue?

He can't, like all his other attempts at suing over such things, he's bluffing. He'd never have won the Paramount one had he gone to court. Instead the threatened them with using presidential powers to screw their merger over.

That's just what Trump is, corrupt.

Or is Paramount leadership corrupt?

They put their own wealth over principle and the 1st Amendment. They either knew they were guilty or were guilty of putting their own wealth over the principle of law.

It was not aired in the U.S., and our overseas vote had already been cast before it's airing in Europe.

What was the harm....that cost him the $billion....not the election....???

Maliciously and falsely "Proving" that Trump incited the J6th "insurrection" is what?

 

[shockedcanadian]

Maliciously and falsely "Proving" that Trump incited the J6th "insurrection" is what?

This is the problem as it gives the impression that BBC were working with U.S knowing that there would be provocateurs in the crowd and they would have this in the can to say "look, Trump is responsible".

If Trump had not shown up at the event at all, I wonder how they would have worked this angle. Perhaps comments he made in a speech or two or while taking questions? I don' t know but them altering his speech suggests an agenda. I doubt it is worth $1B though.

They put their own wealth over principle and the 1st Amendment. They either knew they were guilty or were guilty of putting their own wealth over the principle of law.

Well, Paramount paid the BRIBE to get their merger through. So, yes, they're corrupt. But Trump basically said they had to bribe him in the first place, and did it very openly.

So, Trump is also corrupt. The difference being, one is the elected President of the country and the other isn't in any public service.

That you've decided that Paramount are bad for doing this, you seem to be ignoring that Trump also did it, is pretty weird.

The Beeb concocted a narrative, and substantively created a false quotation in an effort to interfere with the US election.

They KNOWINGLY defamed Trump.

I would sue them for 100 billion dollars. I would drive them into utter bankruptcy.

I don’t blame him, these left wing media outlets will continue to spread propaganda and dissociation until there is real consequences
