The BBC was caught twice manipulating Trump speeches in a deceptive way to make it appear that he was leading an insurrection on January 6th. The BBC has apologized, but Trump has refused to accept their apology. He appears ready to sue them for billions. As the BBC is a state media operation, the ramifications on the special relationship between the U.S. and the UK are major. Since the UK has gone further and further far left, that relationship is only sure to be more strained, if not broken.
Blurb:
Under threat of a massive $1 billion lawsuit, the BBC just issued a formal apology to President Trump for manipulating his J6 speech to push a fake news narrative.
Days before the 2024 election, the BBC aired a clip that cut out a key part of President Trump’s speech at the Capitol on January 6th to make it look like he was calling for an insurrection.
For reference, here’s a comparison of the original clip vs. BBC’s doctored one:
