BBC chair apologies for ‘error in judgment’ in Trump speech edit

The chair of the BBC is apologizing for the way the broadcaster edited a video of President Trump speaking to a crowd of his supporters on Jan. 6, 2021 in Washington D.C. before the attack on the Capitol that day.

Criticisms of the edit, which have led to the resignations of both BBC Director-General Tim Davie and the CEO of BBC News, Deborah Turness, has “also prompted further reflection by the BBC,” Chair Samir Shah wrote in a letter to British lawmakers this week.

“The conclusion of that deliberation is that we accept that the way the speech was edited did give the impression of a direct call for violent action. The BBC would like to apologise for that error of judgement,” Shah said.

The video in question, shown as part of a BBC documentary and highlighted in reporting by The Telegraph, depicts Trump saying “We’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and I’ll be there with you. And we fight. We fight like hell.”

A complete video and transcript of the president’s remarks shows him urging his supporters to “peacefully and patriotically” march to the Capitol.

Trump has celebrated the resignation of Davie and Turness and has ridiculed the BBC over the edit, alleging the episode is evidence of bias against him.

“I will personally ensure that the BBC continues to take the necessary actions in the future to ensure the BBC retains the trust and confidence of the public we serve,” Shah wrote in his letter. “There is an increasing need for the public to be informed in a way that is impartial, truthful and is based on evidence they can trust. That is the sacred job of the BBC.”

No, I like propaganda. This is bullshit.

Two top officials at the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) stepped down Sunday following criticism of the way the British public broadcaster edited a speech delivered by President Trump on Jan. 6, 2021, in a documentary last year.

BBC Director-General Tim Davie and BBC News CEO Deborah Turness both left the organization, according to the BBC, the United Kingdom’s publicly funded national broadcaster.

Davie said in a letter to staff that leaving the organization “is entirely my decision” and that he was “working through exact timings with the Board to allow for an orderly transition to a successor over the coming months.”

“Overall the BBC is delivering well, but there have been some mistakes made and as director-general I have to take ultimate responsibility,” Davie said in the letter.

Turness similarly said she had to take responsibility amid the public controversy, even as she defended the organization against claims of institutional bias.

In a note to staff, Turness said the controversy surrounding the Trump documentary “has reached a stage where it is causing damage to the BBC — an institution that I love.”

“As the CEO of BBC News and Current Affairs, the buck stops with me,” she wrote in her letter. “In public life leaders need to be fully accountable, and that is why I am stepping down.”

“While mistakes have been made, I want to be absolutely clear recent allegations that BBC News is institutionally biased are wrong,” she added.

The BBC has faced scrutiny for the editing of a documentary that critics say was misleading and cut out part of Trump’s speech before the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol in which the president encouraged supporters to demonstrate peacefully.

According to a clip reported by The Daily Telegraph, the speech in the BBC documentary quoted Trump saying, “We’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and I’ll be there with you. And we fight. We fight like hell.”

In a transcript of Trump’s speech that day, however, the president made those remarks, but not consecutively.

Trump said, at the time: “Now, it is up to Congress to confront this egregious assault on our democracy. And after this, we’re going to walk down, and I’ll be there with you, we’re going to walk down, we’re going to walk down. Anyone you want, but I think right here, we’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them. Because you’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong. We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated, lawfully slated.”

“I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard,” he continued.

Nearly an hour later, Trump said, “And we fight. We fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”

The Hill has reached out to the BBC for comment.

Trump celebrated news of the top BBC officials’ resignations.

“The TOP people in the BBC, including TIM DAVIE, the BOSS, are all quitting/FIRED, because they were caught ‘doctoring’ my very good (PERFECT!) speech of January 6th,” Trump wrote on Sunday on his Truth Social platform.

“Thank you to The Telegraph for exposing these Corrupt ‘Journalists,’” he continued. “These are very dishonest people who tried to step on the scales of a Presidential Election. On top of everything else, they are from a Foreign Country. What a terrible thing for Democracy!"

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>its PROPAGANDA
>Journalism that is the equivalent of fast food changes EVERYTHING
People don't need to take any extra steps to humiliate the current admin because they are doing a stellar job just by themselves. This one single documentary isn't changing anyone's mind about anything. .

>>1456411
I know. There's been plenty of propaganda. This one's just at the top of the stack right now since there's a post about it. Also, fuck off esl shill.

Private media outlets doing it is somehow worse that government institutions doing it. Make it make sense. Its very easy to critically think about the situation critically and arrive to the correct conclusion that one side is clearly far more compromised than the other.

>>1456381
>, I like propaganda. This is bullshit.

All this mainstream media is manufactured consent, so why not allow some manufactured denial?

Trump is suing the BBC for $1 billion dollars

It's time the UK gave tyrant Trump the middle finger

>>1456413
Huh?
What?
Yeah muh both sides. Except your side is on blast thanks to media orgs.
Nah, it's worse than fake ballots. You literally ran a propaganda campaign to drive retards to vote.
There's like 4 people who think it was a set up. The rest are shocked at the disconnect between the Floyd riots which were actively encouraged, and a little unrest on election day.
Also, eat shit you retard.
>Muh boogaloo
>Muh worse than anything
I have no desire to speak with you at all.

>>1456421
Typical conservabain. Conveniently deny the root of your beliefs to maintain an ever-shifting conspiracy theory.
>trump maintains the election was stolen to this day
>when cornered about it conservatives play dumb IE: HUH WHUUU?? DURR WE NO ONE REALLY BELEIVES DAT
>right before jan6th he said "TAKE BACK YOUR COUNTRY FROM THE ELECTION STEALERS"
>just yesterday he pardoned the last of the FAKE GEORGIA ELECTOR SCAMMERS
>Mentioning george floyd as a justification
>"people were just riled up is all"
I will take that as an admission the right understands how dumb they all are
>I have no desire to speak with you at all.
Because you have nothing of value to say

>>1456421
>fake ballots aren't as bad than getting people to vote
MAGA, ladies and gentlemen.

Sooo... consequences are finally a thing for releasing manipulated (fake) News, Reports and so on? Ok, who will tell this FOX News & Co. carefully so that they will understand it too? And how much would it cost if they are also charged for every faux news they spill out?

>Fox News
Isn't this like the fifth or sixth major media org this year that has admitted to publishing fake news about Trump tho?

>>1456436

They were extorted for money, don't get it twisted.

>>1456438
>extortion
That's a weird way to describe admitting guilt in a lawsuit.
Do you have any evidence of extortion, or is this just something you are saying in a fit of copium-induced rage when confronted with the truth?

>>1456433
I guarantee this treatment of Fox News won't happen. Too much money in their hands, and they're the ones with the wrong hands, obviously.

>>1456380 (OP)
>government-funded media spreading leftwing propaganda
MANY SUCH CASES!
The US defunded NPR because they were just shilling Democrat propaganda. UK should do the same to BBC.

>>1456461
How did you get this indoctrinated by the far right?

>>1456461
Settle down, you weirdo. Please go back to X (aka Twitter).

The 1st Amendment exists only within the boundary of the US embassy on the Thames Embankment. One inch outside of there, your rights don't exist, Trump. Anyone in UK can say whatever the fuck they like about that orange pedo and he only has the right to s(h)it in that chair - behind the Resolute Desk gifted to US by Queen Victoria - and impotently seethe.

>>1456476

Execs getting fired from the BBC is impotent seethe?

>the satirical magazine Private Eye saying scathing things about Trump with impunity. that magazine edited by a legal expert who has had libel cases against said magazine, which have failed
That which shits its diaper seethes
but enough about certain things in /news/

>>1456420
I thought you were bullshitting but it's true.
After the BBC announced that they were releasing cheap fakes if Donald Trump, he announced a lawsuit.

Trump banks on MAGAts being too retarded and incurious to ever verify his claims. He says he’s going to sue, therefore it means he has a case. When the case gets tossed out, it means the justice system is against him. They’ll never ask why. This is the same mindset as blaming the shutdown on the dems. The key assumption is that MAGAts are the very definition of an NPC where they react how Trump tells them to react.
Trump said he'd sue the Wall Street Journal for $10 billion. They called his bluff. So much for that idea since.

Hypocrisy means never having to say you're sorry
Private Eye magazine will have a field day over this. I'd like to see Trump threaten them when they talk shit about Trump. Editor Ian Hislop will basically say to Trump 'Go fuck yourself'
How's it going with that lolsuit against the WSJ, Trumpy?

>>1456513
and? right wing rags get obliterated in court far more than left ones. Usually they just settle out of court to avoid the hassle.

>in an edition of satirical show The Last Leg, and way before 2022, the presenter basically invited Putin to have him assassinated after asking viewers to Tweet to the Russian embassy in London a pic of Putin as the bottom in a BDSM scene with the slogan 'I Poke the Putin'

Has the chair of Channel 4 apologized?
>The Last Leg's Adam Hills has said extremely derogatory things about Trump since
Has the chair of Channel 4 apologized?

>>1456525
AND? it proves they were trying to get clicks. He apologized because it was painting the crowd as rowdy during the speech which isnt shat happened. They just decided to riot a short bit after that. it does not change the material circumstances of the court cases that followed.

>trump never lies constantly about everyone and everything

>>1456528
>its so horrible and obvious that we had to edit footage about it

>the way the broadcaster edited a video of President Trump
So if Channel 4 broadcast anything about Trump that showed him in an unflattering light, should the chair of that UK broadcaster apologize?

>we had to edit footage about it
So what? How does this harm you personally?
Are the BBC in the room with us now? Now point out on the Doctor Who figurine where the BBC touched you personally, little asshurt cultist.

I accept your concession, little terminally asshurt bitch. and the Trump-glazing cultist that has been petsonally slighted by another UK broadcaster but can never do anything about it, just as it's more than impossible for Trump to do anything to Channel 4

They did not edit anything, just some slimy editing. Which has never happened ever in television history.

I suppose you have to claim the little victories where you can now that Dementia Donny that crashed the dollar, skyrocketed our deficit spending, 3x the price of insurance, grinded the economy to a halt and permanently damaged the entire countries reputation across the world.

Thanks for admitting that. And will continue to do so with every reply you make in this thread after this post
...and thanks for further proving you're the only one malding here when you reply to this post, little autistic Trumptard. Just letting you know in advance of your retarded reply, malding MAGAt.
