BBC Issues a Humiliating Apology to Trump for Deliberately Biased Edit of His J6 Speech

They didn't exactly crawl on all fours and kiss the president's feet, but whatever the bureaucratic equivalent of a humiliating mea culpa might be, the BBC was compelled to do so.
Donald Trump's threat to sue the BBC for $1 billion for defamation likely didn't influence their deliberations about what to say to the American president after they altered, twisted, and distorted his Jan. 6, 2021, speech to try to make it appear that Trump was urging his followers to storm the Capitol building.
The BBC said that the deliberately false edit had given "the mistaken impression that President Trump had made a direct call for violent action."
"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 apology said.
