DEVELOPING: BBC Faces New Allegations of Trump Video Manipulation

Breaking News: BBC Faces Fresh Allegations of Trump Video Manipulation The BBC is facing new allegations of manipulating a video of Donald Trump's 6 January 2021 speech, just two years after a similar incident led to the resignation of the corporation's director-general. According to reports, the BBC aired a misleading edit of Trump's speech on Newsnight in 2022, which was challenged by a guest on the live programme. This is the second time in two years that the BBC has been accused of manipulating a Trump video, following a Panorama sequence in 2023 that led to the resignation of the director-general and head of news. The BBC has apologized for an "error of judgement" over an edited portion of the same speech that aired last year on Panorama, but the latest allegations suggest a pattern of manipulation. Lawyers for Trump have written to the BBC, threatening to sue for $1 billion in damages unless the corporation issues a retraction, apologizes, and compensates him for the Panorama broadcast. The BBC has not commented on the latest allegations, but the corporation's reputation is under scrutiny once again.
