The BBC is apologizing again to President Trump after lawyers representing his interests sent a letter threatening legal action on his behalf.
The legal threats are about a spliced edit of Trump’s speech on Jan. 6, 2021, that appeared in the network’s program “Trump: A Second Chance?” In the edited clip, the president is framed to say “We’re going to walk down to the Capitol and I’ll be there with you, and we fight. We fight like hell.”
However, in reality, those phrases were delivered almost an hour apart, and the footage omitted the part where President Trump tells supporters “to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.” The BBC responded to the first public criticism by stating:
BBC – “This programme was reviewed after criticism of how President Donald Trump’s 6th January 2021 speech was edited.
During that sequence, we showed excerpts taken from different parts of the speech. However, we accept that our edit unintentionally created the impression that we were showing a single continuous section of the speech, rather than excerpts from different points in the speech, and that this gave the mistaken impression that President Trump had made a direct call for violent action.
The BBC would like to apologise to President Trump for that error of judgement. This programme was not scheduled to be re-broadcast and will not be broadcast again in this form on any BBC platforms.” [SOURCE]
The BBC Media Center then posted a public notification following the letter received from President Trump’s legal team.
BBC – “Lawyers for the BBC have written to President Trump’s legal team in response to a letter received on Sunday.
“BBC Chair Samir Shah has separately sent a personal letter to the White House making clear to President Trump that he and the Corporation are sorry for the edit of the President’s speech on 6 January 2021, which featured in the programme.
“The BBC has no plans to rebroadcast the documentary ‘Trump: A Second Chance?’ on any BBC platforms.
“While the BBC sincerely regrets the manner in which the video clip was edited, we strongly disagree there is a basis for a defamation claim.” (read more)
I was there. I heard exactly what President Trump said, and have been telling all the evil purple haired leftist women I run into what was said and what was NOT said.
Of course, they are always right and the person who was there is always wrong — in their sick, warped minds.
The worst part of all of this is that no one, not one newspaper, magazine, website, news station, etc., will ever make their wrong doing — their LIES — the first and main story for weeks on end.
Insurrection?
Never. Ever. Happened.
Well, it DID happen, except it was carried out by CONgress and gubmint spooks *against* the will of the American people AND their rightfully elected President: Trump. The ENemedia just got it completely backwards, as usual.
The BEEBs cost for being pernicious and stupid? Hopefully a $ 1 Billion court judgement.
Oh, but the biased Lib journos are so Sorry now. Yeah, only sorry their stupidity got them caught! 😎
The BBC is evil, not stupid.. They traffic in propaganda not journalism.
A 1 billion dollar settlement is too little money for the evil they perpetrated.
The BBC has admitted their guilt by spewing apologies to Trump.
Show no mercy Mr. President; sue the pants off of them.
We demand they all line up and make a public apology news conference televising globally.
Sue them for $5 billion, regardless
This added to the financing by various British forums against the Trump campaign are quite amazing. Pity no-one covers this invasion of our politics. What would they say about us funding Farage?
what would who say about funding Farage?
currently the UK is operating under the Drumlanrig Accord, which can explain all of the “suicidal” government insiders helping an islamic invasion. perhaps you should think about the bigger picture and real invasions. notice how Brexit didn’t stop the invasion? notice how it doesn’t matter what party, they all want to give our nations to Muslims?
I mean, have you seen Trump lately? now he wants Muslims to take positions in his cabinet. Trump wants Qatar to have more Idaho training. how about that Bukele in El Salvador, he’s a Muslim and gets soft coverage because of it.
“we need to figure out what the hell is going on?”
total Muslim ban Donald Trump, 2016
Typical Game of Thrones.
47 should sue them out of existence.
Wow. That’s their defense? Ha ha. Editing matters.
“Let’s eat Grandma.” and “Let’s eat, Grandma.” are hugely different statements. The BBC knew what they were doing and why they were doing it.
I hope that PDJT cripples them financially.
Annd it just keeps coming (the potential lawsuits, that is):
That’s not all. The Trump clip is followed by footage of demonstrators marching toward the Capitol, as if they were following DJT’s orders. In fact, the footage was shot before he even began speaking.
