(Crankers) BBC executives Tim Davie and Deborah Turness resigned after backlash over a Panorama documentary that deceptively edited Donald Trump’s January 6 speech.
The edit allegedly misled viewers by altering context around his words before the Capitol events.
A leaked memo exposed the issues, prompting accusations of bias, and Trump has threatened a $1 billion lawsuit against the BBC.
Wow. What a bunch of idiots. If you’re working for a huge network, making good money and end up in a scandal like this, then you really messed up.
If that was me, then I’d just play Trump’s speech word for word. There’s no point to edit it. There’s no point to mislead anyone. And you want to know the number one reason why you shouldn’t alter any speech by any politician? It’s because there are tons of people there who are recording it on their phone and the truth will come out eventually.
There’s other networks there recording it too. The truth will come out eventually.
And for the BBC and the people resigning, it looks like eventually is happening now.
It’s not worth it folks. Just report the news, add your opinion if you want, and let the readers and viewers decide how to feel about it.
