They don't need to do that....not even if it was aired in the USA....politicians are not protected from malicious things being Saud about them, or even outright lies about them....in fact it us common practice, in politics.Maliciously and falsely "Proving" that Trump incited the J6th "insurrection" is what?
BBC would have gotten in trouble if aired in the USA one week prior to the election for breaking those timing rules....but not for any political content.
i.e.
Hillary had Parkinson's disease....bullcrud.
Obama was born in Kenya and does not qualify....bullcrud
etc etc etc....
