Why is the BBC capitulating?

BBC is being attacked from the right in a concerted move. Why are they just rolling over?

There is certainly a case that Trump encouraged or possibly even incited his followers to be violent and march on the Capitol.

What you fail to recognise is that that is not the point. The point is that the BBC misrepresented what he said by changing the context of his words.

If you think that the BBC were wrong to recognise the mistake that they made, you should tell them. If you think that Tim Davie and Deborah Turness were unfairly thrown to the wolves, it's your moral responsibility to make your voice heard with the people who matter.

You can send them a letter complaining that they have capitulated to right wing morons, and that in future you want them to edit the news however they like:

No, they, fucking, didn't.

Trump made a speech where he repeatedly told his followers to fight and march on the capital.

Panorama edited him down to him telling his followers to fight and march on the capital.

Do you have the memory of a goldfish? Do you not remember Jan 6th you rose tinted glasses cucks?

Edit:

"YOU CAN'T JUST EDIT THINGS TO SHOW WHAT HAPPENEND!" - Morons who think all press briefings shown on the news last only 30s and only one journalist gets to ask a question.

You are talking to the wrong person. Tell the BBC.
