"Two of the top executives of the BBC resigned abruptly on Sunday following a report suggesting the public service broadcaster had misleadingly edited a speech by President Trump that preceded the Jan. 6 Capitol riot."

Quote

The surprise resignation of the director general, Tim Davie, and Deborah Turness, the chief executive of BBC News, came several days after The Daily Telegraph published details of a leaked internal memo arguing that a BBC Panorama documentary had juxtaposed comments by Mr. Trump in a way that made it appear that he had explicitly encouraged the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Quote

 The documentary, called “Trump: A Second Chance?” was broadcast last year and, in one section, spliced together footage from comments Mr. Trump made about 50 minutes apart.

The horror. Come the fuck on. We all watched it in real time. He absolutely encouraged it and the BBC is being feckless.

@Rip76, I included that. 

I think the big point here, if I'm not mistaken, is a head of state choosing to sue a foreign newspaper. Period. Petty and embarrassing.

No. I'm not used to it.

At some point, it seems that a sitting President who uses the civil justice system should waive immunity, at least from civil suits.

If the sonofabitch has time to write dirty letters and sue, he can sure as fuck be sued.

So, I'm curious ... what steps did Donny take during his first administration to upgrade the ATC systems? Surely the systems didn't become antiquated overnight, the moment Biden was sworn in. Right?

What a fucking pos. Those system were out of date long before Trump took over in  2016.

It doesn't undo any federal conviction, and I don't know that any such conviction was ever a real threat.  And the fucker is still permanently disbarred by the D.C. and New York state bars, and the pardon can't touch those sanctions.

I haven't seen the report, but a legit news agency should go above and beyond to ensure that edits from a speech do not even remotely create a false sense of what was said. Even if the 2 sentences are related, it should be noted if the sentences are not said next to each other. A on-screen message should be enough.

I completely agree. It's bad journalism. However, if the BBC recognized it as such, they should have forced those guys out at the time. Waiting all this time is a terrible look for them as a once respected news organization. They either ignored bad journalism (damaging their credibility which used to be a big deal to news outlets) and waited until forced to take action, or they don't think it's bad journalism and they are abjectly capitulating to POSUS (sic).

I have not seen the tape. The fact is that POSUS did incite an insurrection (treason, fuck the letter of the law) and you'd have to doctor it up pretty fiercely to make him look worse, so why do such a useless thing? Either way, the Beeb (a friend of mine who worked there referred to it as such. Kinda catchy.) has shot themselves in the gonads.

I know he doesn’t know how to use words, but now the government shutdown was also a hoax?

Everything the Dems say is a hoax and the republicans are the only true patriots. Didn’t you know?

Oh who gives a fuck. Yall are acting like there are still rules. The Rs do way worse shit than this on a daily fucking basis and now we are worried about “bad journalism”? We need to start participating in the war we have been forced into.

Places still exist where there are rules. Not everywhere is the United States political shambles. Not sure what your point is in entering a pretty specific discussion about a journalism bastion.

Why even write about football or any subject?

I'm with you on the exasperation in general.

Maybe the public will start treating Trump's America like an emergency.

Probably after football season.

Files must be adequately redacted finally. No dotard, no other Rs, just Bill Clinton 

I'm still confused why people think swearing her in is going to lead to the E-Files being released. Dotard will veto any bill requiring it.
