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)
Sue them into oblivion.
Everyone, yes, everyone knew their deceptive edit was intentional. Two apologies won’t cut it. Sue them.
The Bi+ch Boyz Continuum (The BBC) are now selling this story to their people as “if the US and Trump sue us and win, they will be taking YOUR tax money!!” UK people will mostly agree (creating more negative US and Trump views) but others will (and are) say “You’re wasted our tax money on creating lies????”
The damage is done…
Yes, it is. That’s why the lawsuit needs to include PUNITIVE (to punish) worldwide, damages, of, let’s say, about $100 BILLION.
Nothing, short of money, is justice, unless jail time could be included.
Airstrip One has the most stringent libel laws of all the Western European police states. A libel case would be a slam dunk for Trump except for the fact that he’s Donald Trump and no judge in that country is going to destroy his career and life by ruling in his favour against The Party and it’s Ministry of Truth.
You’re going to force me to re-read it again now … 🙂
It doesn’t matter so much whether he wins or not. It’s the publicity.
It’s the proverbial standing up to a bully and drawing blood. Doesn’t matter if you beat him in the end.
I would agree if this were just about President Trump and the BBC, but it ain’t. This concerns that portion of the United States that identifies and supports President Trump. The almost 60% of Americans who voted for him in 2020. The false/fake editing of the 1/6/2021 speech by President Trump suggests his supporters were being led by a meglomaniac to storm the U.S. Capitol.
It also concerns the J6ers. This type of ‘coverage’ helped to arm prosecutors with intent. These people were political prisoners. No other description. There is no apology that undoes that. Nothing.
A $1B class action against the BBC would be just and fair, with 80% of all proceeds going to the victims.
Hopefully the President’s Legal Team and US FCC starts a parallel suit here in the US vs BBC America as well as their friends at ABC and UP who also advertised and showed parts of the BBC Production.
Don’t back down one inch. The FCC needs to start slapping huge fines on these “broadcasters” and President Trump should keep the pressure on. This kind of activity is at the root of most of our problems. The entire world is lied to by these bastards.
We’ll see. There are several UK attorneys on youtube saying the case is easily winnable by Trump based on their lack of an intent requirement.
If a judge wishes to expose his own corruption over an obvious legal claim like this, then that’s what they will do. They do it in the US all of the time while SCOTUS states “impeaching judges is not the way to address judicial misbehavior.” Yeah… write them a very stern letter!
Cut the check.
Yep. These people lied to the masses to encourage honor killings of PDJT.
They only respect pain. Any act of kindness is viewed as explicit submission to them.
Destroy their brand.
And specifically the people who did it. Sue the actual people.
It could be no other way but intentional.
No apologie now Trump can sue.
No so much an apology letter but it is a begging PDJT to sue BBC for defamation letter.
It’s another dip shit not being smart enough to leave the shitty comment out of “we see no basis”
Complete idiot to put that in there. That persons hate is so much they couldn’t even lie to save money
Vilification followed with reciprocation …
Deceitful slander.
No, they aren’t CNN
They deserve to be sued!!!!!!!!
I am so tired of people trying to weasel out of their bad behavior by saying, ”I’m sorry”.
Give me a break. They won’t be sorry until they are sued and have to pay for their bad behavior.
.their comment got 3 attempts on his life.
One murder of Kirk.
Multiple beating by mostly pieces of shit protesters
No.mercy.
The foot must go on the head now
The ONLY thing they’re sorry about is that they got caught!
Editing is NOT taking pieces of speech spoken minutes apart and then splicing them together in a manner to give the impression the person is saying something he DID NOT!
The only possible reason for doing that is the intent to defame the individual and to deceive the viewer and it was done during the run up to an election.
BINGO 💥
Fight, fight, fight ! Sue, sue sue!
They the BBC FAFO, ROFLOL!! Fool me once shame on you, fool ME again (twice), shame on YOU!!
EPIC failure on anyone’s part if no justice. It’s a hard lesson to learn and even harder when not followed through on!! JMHO 🌕 HAVE NICE DAY 💥
Samir, Samir, you’d better come here! Stick out your hand and it better have a big fat check in it or Papa Trump is going to whack that hand something fierce!
BBC must be on the ropes to do something so blatantly stupid!
Tough feces.
They knew what they did.
oh poppycock!
It was intentional
and since their intent was to harm President Trump
they need to have consequences
sue them for enough that they have to close their doors
They should not be allowed to get away with “an apology.” Make it hurt, badly. This was a very deliberate act of slander.
They deserve to be sue, intentional harm President Trump,fake news BBC,
“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.”
How about we let the courts decide that!
Why would they add that shitty statement in a sincere apology
They don’t regret it enough to prevent it from happening the first time. Edits 5 minutes apart is bad. Edits 50 minutes apart is absolute intent to defame. This is a slam dunk.
Sue them for billions. Donate the proceeds to the J6ers. That would be justice.
Lol, you can’t edit something “unintentionally” as a result of error in judgement.
An error in judgment requires conscious thought.
The so-called apology is just another lie. A lie intended to further the libel and slander that Trump called for violence.
PDJT was unintentionally almost assassinated 3 times per BBC
“War”
That piece of shit obama murdered andrew
The BBC…known also as “Auntie”, Guardian of the Nation’s Morals.
Staid, reliable, dependable, proper, as spinster aunts were back in the day…. once upon a time.
Now she is a wearisome scold, forever vomiting out unadulterated globalist shibboleths to the British public which is still required by law to fork over £175 a year for a television license. The BBC has Orwellian named ” Detector Vans” which roam from John O’Groats to Land’s End ferreting out those who haven’t paid for their propaganda. Fines and/or imprisonment await anyone who hasn’t coughed up.
I hope President Trump sues them out of existence.
As a BBC licence payer, so do I, Betsy.
And so do many Brits; we are thoroughly sick of their lies and bias, and their willing complicity with the constant message massaging on behalf of our lying, anti-British government. More heartening, other stations are publicising that the BBC has messed with the speech not once, but twice. Don’t let them off the hook, POTUS!
One idea doing the rounds here is that the BBC could lose the trusted broadcaster badge and be banned in the USA…….?
My understanding, Reader, from what someone has winkled out here is that through some bizarre entity, our taxpayer money contributes to the BBC in some fashion. I’m not speaking of pennies but tens of thousands of dollars.
So in effect I suppose you could call us license payers as well, and so have a declared interest. Cut that money off I say, President Trump!!
The BBC’s entertainment output and productions used to be wonderful, dear lady. Now? Woke, DEI, lecturing. When I lived there, on Christmas Eve after we closed the doors on the little shop where I worked, I would race home and arrive just in time to watch Carols from Kings. The highlight of my beautiful Christmases in Wales. When we moved to Texas, you can’t imagine how thrilled we were to find that we could access it on our Britbox streaming service.
Then last year in deference to your new, preferred people, we learned it wouldn’t be shown on Christmas Eve, but a day or so later. Offensive I suppose. We live in hope that saner minds might reconsider this year. But seeing the BBC “Chair” is not a “Harvey-Smythe” or something similar, I fear we are to be disappointed yet again.
The BBC has descended into dark purpose as so many once revered institutions have. I won’t discuss the Anglican Church because through your last comments, I know you understand.
I pray for the benighted people of Britain constantly. It is still, and will remain always, the home of my heart. With sustaining, precious memories of happier times and friends who became cherished family to this day.
Blessings always to you and your family, dear Reader.
From Wales to Texas. That had to be an adventure :).
The adventure in the first instance was from Texas (where I was born) to Wales, bouv…
Unanticipated, unexpected, sudden, and wonderful 💕
So $3.4 million from the US taxpayer roughly per year feeds the defamation factory.
That has to change.
🏴🏴🏴
🥂
I can’t remember if Canada has a “television license”, Dekester…🤔
Even worse Betsy. They pay all media (press, TV, CBC) from the taxes which all of us have had confiscated.
We’re no better, yes.
Promethean Action is connecting this to a deeper ploy and how they are losing the battle for control. Interesting take on what is going on. So much going on it is like drinking from a fire hose.

Psalm 119:33-37 NKJV
Teach me, O LORD, the way of Your statutes,
And I shall keep it to the end.
[34] Give me understanding,
and I shall keep Your law; Indeed,
I shall observe it with my whole heart.
[35] Make me walk in the path of
Your commandments, For I delight in it.
[36] Incline my heart to Your
testimonies, And not to covetousness.
[37] Turn away my eyes from
looking at worthless things,
And revive me in Your way.
119: the Himalya of Psalms
We’re dealing with mentally ill people who have granted themselves the right to completely fabricate any lie they want, target us with hunting rifles, and put us in prison for speaking out.
There can be no compromise with these lunatics.
The apology letter is an admission of guilt. Nail those f$$kers to a wall.
Precisely!
Mentally I’ll is how I describe anyone with T.D.S.
Like anyone with mental illness one encounters, I find it best to minimize contact in any form.
Cheers!
Monumental first step in the long overdue preeminent battle for the salvation of western civilization. Let loose the hounds of truth in journalism. We pray to expose them and once again we see answers. Praise God in the name of Christ Jesus
Break ’em.🤣💋
Sue them till they are Broke and desolate
Why edit if you not meaning to defame?
Occam’s Razor
Not just edit. The clips were 50 minutes apart. This is purposeful. Deceitful, and fully a defamation of PDJT.
Not good enough..
“We would like to apologize” is not an apology.
“We apologize” is an apology.
Reminds me of the word-parsing of Bill Clinton in the 90’s.
Almost. An genuine apology requires three* things:
– offering the apology itself
(I’m sorry, and ask that you accept it.)
– showing genuine contrition
(sincerity, authenticity, honesty admitting fault without caveat)
– making it right
(fix the thing you broke, print a full retraction, fire those responsible at the Editor/Producer/Publisher level, compensate people for their loss, etc.)
That’s why this is nowhere near an apology. It is a lie crafted by lawyers to avoid ALL THREE.
*There’s a fourth, depending how you view things. And that is having no expectation the wronged party will accept 1-3 but you do it anyway.
Sue every media outlet guilty of blatant manipulations. What national debt?
And any media that played that clip pretending they were just sharing news
They are the media, they have the full everything.
No excuse
British citizens go to jail for their comments or postings.
Maybe Trump will see to it that the BBC will someday have empathy.
$1 Billion dollars will get their attention.
Here comes another one…….
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2025/11/14/fake-news-another-bbc-programme-caught-editing-trump-speech/
Australian ABC did it too.
SEVER ALL TIES WITH THE UK. They are a completely incompatible nation. Their practiced values are very incompatible with the values of the USA which are STILL strong enough to prevent the collapse of the country so far.
If we enable their continued decline by continuing to work with and associate with them, not only will their demise happen sooner, but so will ours.
The UK is a “downing man” culture and if we try to save them now that they are flailing about uncontrolled? We’re likely to suffer from the attempt at this point.
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.” Trump Hold my beer!
You did it deliberately you sons of bitches, that is malice. Look it up.
No apology is adequate to repair the damage done by the bbc’s deceptive editing. I, as a US citizen affected by their actions, do not accept the apology.
That was the speech at the FBi headquarters!
Maybe the next time President Trump visits the UK or Europe BBC will help promote a “No Kings Day” rally. Yes, they are that stupid.
Yes…sue them…
While in Europe this summer with limited TV access the only news outlets for viewing were BBC, Al Jazeera and Sky news…
BBC and Sky news were anti Trump, anti Israel, Pro Hamas…there wasn’t one positive or truthful story…
This was intentional, anything to diminish the President’s reputation and accomplishments broadcast around the world.
Both barrels…
He doesn’t need to sue. Trump is destroying the British Imperial economic system that feeds the banksters. Once he’s done with that, the City of London influence collapses and takes down the BBC with it.
It was also foreign interference in our 2024 election in an effort to help Kamala win. Next, the BBC will offer the President a one year streaming subscription to Brit Box.
Samir Shah representing the BBC?
That’s just repulsive on every level.
Sue them into oblivion.
Where da money at?
They want to say it was a lapse in judgement, but this was not that. This was deliberate, coordinated attempt to bring down Trump.
They failed on a single incident.
They substantiated the claim it was intentional by the second incident.
They will not change without pain.
$1B will cause pain.
Will it be enough to prevent a third? Highly unlikely. Leftists gonna be leftists.
And people think that a government run broadcasting corporation is much better with less bias….
An embedded video shows side-by-side videos of the original Trump comment vs. the BBC edited Trump comment. ArmstrongEconomics.com article entitled, “The BBC Scandal Demonstrates Maybe Bigger than Watergate”.
FTA: What the BBC has done with their doctoring a speech by Trump that aired a week before the 2024 presidential election, made him appear to encourage the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. This was deliberate FAKE NEWS in an attempt to influence the election. I believe this a CRIME!!
There is a statute (18 U.S.C. § 371) that makes it a crime to conspire to impair or obstruct a lawful function of the government through deceit. That would include an election. The press hides behind the First Amendment but they have turned on its head. It is NOT free speech to yell fire in a crowded theater to start a stamped when there is no fire.
The First Amendment protects even false, misleading, or partisan speech. However, the Supreme Court has set an incredibly high bar for punishing speech, especially speech about public figures and political matters. For a journalist to be held legally liable for false statements, the plaintiff (or prosecutor) would generally need to prove “actual malice”—that the journalist knew the information was false or acted with reckless disregard for the truth. The facts of this case warrant an FBI investigate of the journalist and the BBC deliberately editing this video shows “actual malice” this was intentional and not a mistake. All their emails should be preserved and if there was any partisan connection and deliberate “malace” the BBC should be criminally charged. This is the only way to start cleaning up the press.
https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/press/the-bbc-scandal-demonstrates-maybe-bigger-than-watergate/
Sure. After punching some one bloody, about to receive imminent punishment, the bully claims ‘no malice intent’.
It don’t pass the smell test.
BBC: “What do mean there are consequences for blatantly lying about the sitting president of the US especially to push a carefully crafted agenda to unseat him??”
BBC Management? Crush them out. They will be replaced and forgotten quickly.
Most of them will be hired as professors at American universities.
