The Corporation edited footage to make it seem president was encouraging Capitol riot, according to whistleblowing dossier, the Telegraph reports:
‘The BBC “doctored” a Donald Trump speech by making him appear to encourage the Capitol Hill riot, according to an internal whistleblowing memo seen by The Telegraph.
A Panorama programme, broadcast a week before the US election, “completely misled” viewers by showing the president telling supporters he was going to walk to the Capitol with them to “fight like hell”, when in fact he said he would walk with them “to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard”.
The “mangled” footage was highlighted in a 19-page dossier on BBC bias, which was compiled by a recent member of the corporation’s standards committee and is now circulating in government departments.’
According to the whistleblower’s memo, the dossier said the programme made the US president “say things [he] never actually said” by splicing together footage from the start of his speech with something he said nearly an hour later; also that senior executives and the BBC’s chairman had ignored and dismissed a string of serious complaints raised by the corporation’s own standards watchdog.
We at TCW have, over the years, raised endless serious questions about the culture at the BBC – most recently yesterday – about its blatant bias, propaganda, political activism and collapse of editorial standards; how managers including Tim Davie, the director-general, have turned a blind eye to all this time and time again.
If this latest flagrant violation of its Charter is not enough to defund it, it is hard to know what would.
