The ‘Beeb’ is in the crosshairs of Trump’s legal team for one billion dollars.
A day after the resignation of Director-General Tim Davie and the ousting of Chief News Executive Deborah Turness, the British Broadcasting Company (BBC) is dealing with the fallout of the accusations of institutional biases and the scandal over the deceptive editing of Donal J. Trump’s J6 speech.
Today (10), BBC Chairman Samir Shah has publicly admitted the corporation made what he called an ‘error of judgment’.
Shah admitted that the editing of separate comments by Trump created the manufactured impression that the US President had called for violence on January 6 2021.
Shah made these comments in a written statement to Parliament’s Culture, Media and Sport Committee.
BBC reported:
“He writes: ‘Since the publication of Mr. Prescott’s memo, this issue has led to over 500 complaints. These are now being dealt with in the normal way. It has also prompted further reflection by the BBC’.
‘The conclusion of that deliberation is that we accept that the way the speech was edited did give the impression of a direct call for violent action. The BBC would like to apologize for that error of judgement’.”
‘They are seeking to regain trust amongst audiences.’

A spokesman for failing Prime Minister Keir Starmer says that he ‘does not believe the BBC is institutionally biased’.
“He added: ‘It is important the BBC acts to maintain trust and corrects mistake quickly when they occur… for any public service broadcaster – accountability is vital’.”
This comes as BBC News has reported that Trump has sent a letter to the BBC threatening legal action.
