“BBC director general Tim Davie and News CEO Deborah Turness resign over Trump documentary edit”, reports the BBC about itself:
BBC director general Tim Davie and CEO of News Deborah Turness resign over Trump documentary edit
It comes after the Telegraph published details of a leaked internal BBC memo suggesting Panorama edited two parts of Trump’s speech together so he appeared to explicitly encourage the Capitol Hill riots of January 2021
In a statement, Davie says “there have been some mistakes made and as director general I have to take ultimate responsibility”
I used the tag “Deleted by the Woke Media” because fifty-four minutes of Trump’s speech on January 6th 2021 were deleted by the Woke BBC, and the trailing ends of the tape spliced together to make it appear as if he had said an inflammatory sentence he never said.
Remember the names of those public figures, especially journalists, who say that this was acceptable behaviour by the BBC because it was done to Trump. These people think lying is acceptable. Assume they are lying to you; assume they would lie about you.
The risk for the BBC is of course a defamation lawsuit for hundreds of millions of US dollars in a US court, with the malice element presumably being highly likely to be established as it is difficult to see, at least to me, how this could have been an honest oversight, YMMV. And with that the discovery and deposition issues.
Will this cause the government to question the need for a BBC licence fee? No more than the lack of a rapture put off those various 19th Century sects from updating their predictions of the Second Coming.
Make the announcements on a dark Sunday evening and hope nobody makes a fuss?
I am proud that the BBC remains the most trusted news brand globally.
Despite the inevitable issues and challenges, our journalism and quality content continues to be admired as a gold standard.
STFU
While mistakes have been made, I want to be absolutely clear recent allegations that BBC News is institutionally biased are wrong.
Together we have bucked the global trend, to grow trust in BBC News.
The previous extracts are from Tim Davie, these are Deborah Turness.
Both come across like a Scooby Doo villain, “We’d have got away with it if it wasn’t for you pesky kids”.
Get the popcorn for Trump’s lawsuit for libel.
Would he go after them in a US or UK court?
Meanwhile, is it hoping too much that this will also be acted on?

Probably not.
Licence fee gone on day 1 of the Farage administration please.
As I understand it the British government is taking legal action against a US company for reporting things that are against British (Labour) law in a British court.
I hope The Donald sues the sh*t out of them and gets full discovery! Though they’ll probably settle out of court to avoid that. And put a few extra pounds on the license fee to cover costs.
25 million households pay the licence fee. So…. subscription service, £300 per year to raise the same amount. Cheaper than Sky, Virgin, etc. which are about £600 a year. It would require the Beeb to terminate all non-encoded broadcasts so that non-payers are unable to receive content.
“suggesting Panorama edited two parts of Trump’s speech together” sounds so much milder than “pointing out”that same thing.
Still at it Auntie. Quite incorrigible.
For over 60 years (since such programmes as “That Was The Week That Was” and many others) BBC bias has become more and more obvious. From time to time some individuals resign, or are forced out, but everything just continues to get worse.
It is not this or that individual – it is the system itself that is no good. And not just the BBC – it is the whole structure, for example “Ofcom” – the “regulator” of broadcasting, with its establishment leftism – of which Mark Steyn and others have been victims.
Television stations in Britain should not try and be “unbiased” which is impossible – there should be many different television stations, with different points of view. A Guardian, “Independent”, Mirror, and so on of television – but also a Daily Telegraph and Daily Mail of television.
John Locke attacked William Penn’s proposal for a dominant government school system in Pennsylvania (the system was not established at that time – it did not arrive till the 19th century) saying it would nip “in the bud” dissenting opinions – dominant broadcasters are the same.
There must be a choice of television and radio stations (and internet sites) with different points of view – no absurd seeking for “unbiasedness”.
What the he’ll is going on in the news desks? At the time that thousands of Christians are being raped and slaughtered by muslims in Sudan, every news channel seems to be concentrating on some numpty and numpties reducing from the Biased Broadcasting Corporation for overseeing blatant lies about someone with a different political view to them (no change there,
then).
I’d say this is more serious than everybody’s saying. The BBC repeatedly claims it’s “influential” in the US. The Panorama broadcast was before the US presidential election So this is a UK statutory body interfering in a US election by disseminating false information about one of the candidates. It’s not just the BBC. It’s the UK intentionally interfering with a US election.
Note that there’s wholesale difference between this & accusations of Trump interfering in UK elections. Trump disseminates his opinions via private media. X or his own platform, whatever. He does it in his personal not presidential capacity. The BBC doesn’t have a personal capacity. It’s not down to the people who put the Panorama programme together, the Director General of the BBC, or even the BBC. It’s a statutory body. It is the UK.
