BBC altered Hegseth speech on Iran war

https://uk.news.yahoo.com/bbc-altered-hegseth-speech-iran-201847962.html

Quote
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”.

BBC Persian, which broadcasts to audiences inside Iran, mistranslated remarks by the US secretary of defence, telling viewers Washington was bringing death to the Iranian “people”.

In fact, Mr Hegseth had said the Iranian “regime” was being targeted.

The mistake was seized upon by pro-Israel media campaigners, who claimed that it cast doubt on the BBC’s impartiality. It also triggered a backlash on social media.

"Mistaken" translation? Yeah, I'm not buying that bridge. This is the same BBC that doctored a clip from Trump's 1/6/2021 speech and is being sued for it. It's that BBC, this was USA- and Trump-hating intentional.

Yeah, no. No accident, no mistake. The Islamists and fellow travelers at the Beeb are doing what they are rapidly becoming famous for, namely being on the wrong side. Lord Haw Haw lives.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Trump has a $10B pending defamation lawsuit against these boys.  And it seems to be a slam dunk.

Ol' Pete might want to get a Bill or 2 too.
