It Wasn't News

It was an outright lie:

British Broadcasting Corp. Director-General Tim Davie is resigning from the UK national broadcaster amid allegations it misled viewers by editing President Donald Trump’s remarks in a Panorama documentary last year.

The BBC on Monday apologized for the editing of the program, which aired in October 2024 and spliced together sections of a speech Trump gave in Washington on January 6 2021, the day of the post-election riot at the US Capitol.

The documentary made Trump appear to say that his supporters should “walk down to the Capitol” and “fight like hell.” In fact, he said they should “cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women.” The “fight like hell” remark was from a different part of the speech. 

News chief Deborah Turness also resigned, and in a letter to the House of Commons Culture, Media and Sport Committee on Monday, the broadcaster’s chairman Samir Shah, acknowledged the edit of the Trump speech “did give the impression of a direct call for violent action.”

 

Take this out of the BBC's funding.

Keep doing it until there is nothing left.
