| What utter tosh. BBC apologised for an unwise edit, and two senior executives have resigned. But Trump did say exactly what they reported, just not in quite the way they edited. Anybody who was watching that day were perfectly clear that Trump was encouraging the riot that lost 5 lives. All these deaths were caused exclusively by fanatical Trump supporters without any encouragement from the BBC though no doubt they reported what he said live, as did US stations and others around the world. He didn't like being beaten and having tried to fix the voting (and having failed because even Republicans refused to fix it) he tried to get the result overturned by violence, including against his own Vice President. The edit you're complaining about has NEVER been released in the USA. Trump has pardoned all the rioters who caused the deaths. He has also sued (or threatened to) the BBC which is standard in his playbook, because he will not tolerate any real news which he doesn't like. He bullies them to shut up and many US news outlets are scared off. He has sued numerous US newspapers and TV stations and his supporters are calling for journalists to be executed. Maybe you agree with that. I want the BBC to stand up to those who sell lies and do our country down. They need more of a backbone. BBC is governed by independent governors, many appointed by Conservatives, including the former Director General, a former Conservative parliamentary candidate in Hammersmith. There are a number of politically active Conservative governors and former investment bankers, hardly the nonsense put about that the BBC is left wing! |
