The BBC's director-general Tim Davie has resigned amid a row over the doctoring of a Donald Trump speech for a Panorama episode. The corporation's CEO of News, Deborah Turness, has also resigned following criticism that the BBC documentary misled viewers.
In a statement, Mr Davie said: 'There have been some mistakes made and as director general I have to take ultimate responsibility.' It comes after the scandal hit broadcaster was this week plunged into a fresh crisis after an internal dossier exposed a string of incidents that demonstrate serious apparent bias in the Corporation's reporting.
The concerns regard clips spliced together from sections of Mr Trump's speech on January 6, 2021 to make it appear he told supporters he was going to walk to the US Capitol with them to 'fight like hell'.
The documentary 'Trump: A Second Chance?' was broadcast by the BBC the week before last year's US election. Mr Trump's White House has since accused the BBC of '100 per cent fake news'. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt, in the first comments by the White House on the row, said: 'This purposefully dishonestly, selectively edited clip by the BBC is further evidence that they are total, 100 per cent fake news that should no longer be worth the time on the television screens of the great people of the United Kingdom.

What he did should get him excommunicated from the profession.
BBC was a respectable media outlet and this puts it below tabloid quality
Shame

The biggest influences in our country (MSM, social media) are not held accountable for being complete shiteheads.
Does anyone honestly think our country is going to improve.
The most obvious example of when the media shifted after Obummer’s election.
Has anyone once on the left second guessed an opinion of his?
It’s a shiteshow.

So... doctoring Trump's speech to make him say something that he in no way said is now simply "some mistakes were made"?

You think Tim Davie is a Leftist?
You must not be aware that he was a Conservative politician and active in the Conservative party. He cracked down on Virtue signaling. He forbade journalists from attending Pride events cut Left wing comedy shows. The guy is no leftist.

And he still let this happen under his watch. Did he say anything about it? No, he just resigned in disgrace. The Telegraph news service in the UK was the one that uncovered this.

I'm not into Q and all that, but look at what's played out ...
England fabricates a lie to trash Trump via the Steele dossier.
Prince Andrew was connected to Jeffrey Epstein.
HIs accuser dies mysteriously.
King Charles moves to remove Andrew's official title as Prince.
The BBC admits to faking video coverage of Trump at J6, in a most obvious manner - to make it look like he tried to illegally overthrow the election ( he didn't)
