BBC-Trump legal row over misleading edit [mvkda1h0Nrn]
The BBC has apologised to US President Donald Trump after its ‘Panorama’ documentary spliced sections of his January 6, 2021, speech in a way that “gave the impression of a direct call for violent action” during the Capitol riots. However, the broadcaster said it will not pay the $1 billion in damages Trump is seeking, nor accept his allegation of defamation. BBC Director General Tim Davie and CEO of News Deborah Turness resigned on November 9 following mounting pressure triggered by a leaked memo from Michael Prescott, a former adviser on the BBC’s editorial standards. Trump has a long history of suing media organisations over coverage he disputes, including CBS and ABC, which both previously agreed to multimillion-dollar settlements in defamation lawsuits filed by Trump.
