After the BBC was exposed for releasing a documentary one week before the 2024 election that showed a deceptively edited video of President Trump, its top leadership is now being forced to resign. The video was clearly edited to make it appear President Trump was calling for an insurrection on January 6.
Some of the top casualties, so far, include BBC Director General Tim Davie and News CEO Deborah Turness. While the UK left is doubling down on its defense of the indefensible, calls from rank-and-file British to ban the television license in light of their bias being clearly exposed have only increased.
Both the BBC Director General Tim Davie and News CEO Deborah Turness have been forced to resign after the Telegraph exposed them for doctoring Trump’s January 6th speech to make him look like he incited the crowd.
Brendan O’Neill captures it well: If you come for Donald J. Trump, you better not miss. That’s a lesson the BBC just learned the hard way. The Beeb went after Trump, slurring him with vicious lies. It used its flagship current-affairs show to defame him as a fascistic monster who stirred up violence at the US Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. And the result of these outrageous libels has been not the fall of Trump, but the fall of the BBC. The Beeb thought it could drag down the leader of the free world — but ended up dragging its own reputation into the gutter, burying itself in its own Trump-phobic BS. It is hands-down the worst crisis Britain’s publicly funded broadcaster has ever faced…. The seriousness of this cannot be overstated. The BBC doctored the footage. It twisted the truth to serve ideological ends. These were Pravda levels of manipulation. The BBC’s London headquarters honors George Orwell with a statue outside the building (New York Post).
