The BBC goes after Pete Hegseth
The media, here and in England, won’t reform itself.

The media delights in attacking President Trump. Their terminal cases of Trump Derangement Syndrome—TDS—have led them to actively lie about Trump’s words and actions. ABC’s George Stephanopoulos is one such, and it cost ABC $16 million. Trump also sued CBS over a 60 Minutes editing deception and won $16 million, though more may be in the offing.
However, TDS is not limited to American media. The BBC maliciously edited video of Trump’s January 6, 2021 speech to make it seem he was urging his followers to attack the Capitol. They spliced together widely separated comments and removed others, such as his exhortation that they “peacefully and patriotically make your [their] voices heard.” The BBC aired that false edit a week before the 2024 election in an obvious attempt to help Kamala Harris.
In the doctored clip, Trump is shown saying, “We’re gonna walk down to the Capitol, and I’ll be with you, and we’ll fight. We fight like hell, and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not gonna have a country anymore.” A leaked internal report on BBC bias noted that the doctored clip made Trump “ ‘say’ things [he] never actually said by splicing together footage from the start of his speech with something he said nearly an hour later.”
But that wasn’t all the BBC did to lie about Trump:
The BBC’s perfidy did not end with mangling the words Trump spoke. The program also featured scenes of angry, flag-waving men marching towards the Capitol, apparently spurred on by Trump’s pugilistic rhetoric. As that leaked report notes, this “created the impression Trump’s supporters had taken up his ‘call to arms.’” Unfortunately for that narrative, the footage was shot before Trump had even started speaking.
Trump is suing the BBC for between $1 and $5 billion. The BBC apparently hasn’t learned from that debacle. They recently altered a speech by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, making it appear he said America is attacking not the Islamist Iranian regime, but the Iranian people:
The BBC mistakenly altered a speech by Pete Hegseth on the war in Iran, making him appear to say the United States was targeting the Iranian “people”.
