BBC Plans Apology Over "Dishonest" Trump Edit, As UK Minister Says Incident Is "Incredibly Serious"

[shockedcanadian]

Trump is the most outspoken, accessible and unrestrained politician in modern times. Thus, they have plenty of legitimate material to present to the public. Instead, they edited his Jan 6th speech (surely they didnt choose that most controversial issue by accident) to misrepresent what he said. Now they may issue an apology since Trumps team found out about this. Their relationship with America is vital to their relevance and this is the hill the choose to fight on? The apology should have come within hours. I am convinced that the intellectual and moral capacity of society is in sharp decline, but are there not ANY sacred cows or is this imbecile trait iimpossible to avoid, anywhere? MSN.
The BBC’s chairman is planning to apologize after a documentary edited Donald Trump‘s January 6 speech to make it appear as if the president was encouraging the 2021 Capitol riot.


On Monday, Samir Shah will write to UK Parliament’s Culture, Media and Sport Committee to admit that a 2024 BBC Panorama film should not have altered Trump’s speech so significantly.
Shah is expected to tell lawmakers that the BBC has reviewed the Trump edit again in light of audience complaints in recent days, Deadline understands. Shah is expected to acknowledge that Panorama could have been clearer that Trump’s speech was changed, but he will say there was no intention to mislead viewers.


The Sunday Times and Sunday Telegraph first reported on Shah’s planned apology, which comes after a week of headlines about the Trump edit and the BBC’s reporting on Gaza and transgender rights.


The concerns originated in an excoriating leaked memo attacking BBC News output. Obtained by The Daily Telegraph, the document was penned by Michael Prescott, who was an external adviser to the BBC board's Editorial Guidelines and Standards Committee until June.

Americans across the political spectrum, and people all over the world, can see what's happening here. History is rhyming. And they're very concerned.

But if you can't win an argument with reason and intellectual honesty, then kindly stay the **** out of it.

Yeah, this was pretty egregious.

My take on January 6th is different than most. Trump's supporters had every reason to believe that the November 2020 election was stolen. It was stolen through information suppression by DOJ, by fraudulent-but-untraceable mail-in ballots, shenanigans with remote, un-secure ballot boxes, and who knows what else? Hence, they were justified in rioting, and had Biden lost under the same circumstances there would have been an even bigger riot.

I personally believe that the election was stolen, but it has worked out for the best. "We" Americans have been fortunate that Trump is a wealthy man who had the resources to fight all the law fare mounted against him. Had be not been wealthy, it would have bankrupted him and landed him in prison rather than at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

What a hoot. The spineless orange turd must be placated when absolutely everyone knows exactly what insurrection he caused.

"Everyone knows" because the BBC and others apparently didn't believe the facts could make a strong enough case and thus they had to distort the matter.

Apparently your echo chamber knows but the rest of us all voted for Trump.

Everyone knows Chump always leaves himself weasel word escapes so other people can carry the can for him; just as everyone knows exactly what he's trying to do.

I'm not surprised you voted for Chump. I bet you're one of the ones he loves.

Can you translate this from rant to reasoning for me.

No, I don't think so. It's in perfectly plain English, I'm not proficient enough to put it in MAGAlian. One needs an altered reality for that.

Altered reality, you mean like the BBC news reporting?

It's just one of many instances to the reason why more and more want the TV licence scrapped. The BBC is just a Government propaganda machine. Times have changed since the invention of the TV and the birth of the BBC, now's the time to scrap the licence. The BBC can either be funded by commercials and/or subscription. One thing is for sure, it would die a slow death.

There was no insurrection.

And just like that, two resignations -

It's what they've always done, that's why they just repeat the same results.

 

[BluesLegend]

The media, dishonest, BIASED 120% towards the left, I'm shocked! Here's my shocked face...

 

[BluesLegend]

Democrats and the SHIT media always apologize AFTER their attempt to RIG elections are over, their credibility shot, and it no longer matters. Do not be fooled by these fake laughable attempts at redemption, the media are the lowest of low lying shit stains.

 

[Meathead]

But if you can't win an argument with reason and intellectual honesty, then kindly stay the **** out of it.

OK, won't miss your posts, but so long,

Here is the greater threat, I am certain that foreign agencies have influenced BBC leadership. MSS are smarter than Western intel, they understand that they can influence media, education and social movements without direcrly recruiting people in high positions, but just via influencing outcomes,.manipulsting and tampering. This ensures weak "leaders" like Merkel or Macron win elections. That media cover the Syrian refugee crisis to pressure governments to alow millions in. That far-left, woke, China-First supporters (wittingly or not) take the reigns of BBC and other media outlets. Consider the world today to 30 years ago and Chinas unrivaled rise. MSS are way ahead, while some nations (cough, cough Canada) destroy their own citizens with unaccoiuntable, civil right violating domestic security apparatuses. Then they scream "America is your problem"! Both the U.K and France have immensely unpopular governments, yet, nothing changes, Macron lost an election a year ago and.still hasn't left. China is winning and I have my suspicions as to why...

 

[Seymour Flops]

If Trump really said all the terrible things that his detractors allege, they would post video of Trump saying them, instead of heavily edited clips to make it look like he said terrible things, or more commonly, simply falsely paraphrase him as in "Trump said to drink bleach!" and "Trump said all Mexicans are rapists and drug dealers!"

Of course, certain posters on this thread, even when presented with facts, prefer to use the fiction as the basis for their argument.
