Two top leaders at the BBC resigned on Sunday amid an escalating scandal over impartiality and bias that plunged Britain’s public broadcaster into one of its biggest crises in recent years.
The BBC’s most senior executive, director general Tim Davie, and the chief executive of the news division, Deborah Turness, both quit after the leak of a deeply critical memo that, among other things, revealed that the BBC had misleadingly edited a speech by Donald Trump to make it appear that he had directly called for violence on January 6.
Yeah, wouldn’t want to make it seem like Trump encouraged the January 6th riot. That would be so irresponsible and inaccurate. Who could imagine that Trump was 100% behind and encouraging of the January 6th riot? He never used coded language pushing for it heavily.
This seems to me a sign that the rest of the world will not be able to help us, as they suffer from the same illness.
It’s because billionaires have such an incomprehensibly large amount of money that they can literally buy entire countries. Fascism won’t stay contained to the US/UK
To be honest we Brits sent you lot away already carrying it. No way we didn’t still have it or get it back from you. The UK is at best a couple years behind, as always.
The left and cancel culture is out of control! Oh wait.
We’re supposed to have Ofcom to investigate stuff like this.
Good.
That’s called having integrity and that’s becoming increasingly rare.
Good news, bias has no place in state sponsored journalism at all
You have read what this “biased” article was about, haven’t you? The article was about the point that Trump caused the Jan 6 insurrection, which is only criticised by rather demented people.
It’s not just about the article, it’s about malicious editing of videos and timelines as well. The edit is extremely egregious and should not be something done at all by any self respecting journalism publication
Oh my.
So dumb. More fuel for the fire. Just let Trump burn himself down.
