The BBC. Bias is one thing. Lies and manipulation of facts entirely different.

It makes me laugh… posters trying so hard to blame The Telegraph for bringing this matter to public attention 😄 while ignoring the actual story or dismissing it as nothing to see here.
When the head honchos have just resigned.

gg13 it was reported - in May.

No idea Whitewavemark2 I knew about the documentary on Palestine using a Hamas leaders son.

Hadn’t read/heard about POTUS’s speech being edited.

Again, what is wrong with this being brought into in the public domain, the Beeb is 86% funded by us, it should have been and be above reproach like Caesars wife.

If it leads to better leaders at the top, and a fairer balance of political representation in discussion shows, then result.
Much less of Farage!

When looking at the whistleblower, message and messenger.

What the bbc did was pretty naff, but ask yourself what Prescott, Gibb and The Telegraph all have in common.

Then you can understand why I and many others are pretty cynical as to the intention of the so called whistleblowing.

I do think that the bbc has screwed up and should have immediately - in May - put out an apology and whatever was necessary.

The trouble is that the BBC’s default position is always to go into a defensive crouch and try to bat away criticism.

This needs to change.

I think the board should be composed almost entirely of journalist. Not political appointees.

What do Prescott, Gibb and the Telegraph have in common? Perhaps they like the truth?

The truth though is hard to find. So exactly who did edit the film? Was it a BBC staff member or a member of October Productions? What sanctions were given to that person? Is that person still employed by the BBC or October Productions? What was the motivation for splicing the video tape? Hard evidence? Oreo
Then of course we need to ask how long Shah knew about this false edit. Best stay on point?

It was BBC staff who did the editing. Apparently October Productions were completely unaware of it until this story broke. The bona fides of the Telegraph are completely irrelevant as the story is patently true. This is our national broadcaster caught telling lies.

Thing is though, they used Trumps own words. Is it a bit like the outrage when Charlie Kirk's own words were used against him?

Maremia said:

And we should put our trust in a newspaper controlled from the USA and Abu Dhabi, The Guardian
The best plan ever.

Did you say that, Maremia?

No, not exactly, but the thing is, though, I used Maremia's own words.

Cut and spliced.

You can make anyone say anything using their own words by editing.
