Leaked Memo Accuses BBC Panorama of Misleading Edit of Trump's Jan. 6 Speech
The BBC aired a documentary that edited Trump's speech to wrongly suggest he incited the Capitol riot, splicing clips nearly an hour apart, says a whistleblower memo.
- Last year, BBC's Panorama aired the programme Trump: A Second Chance?, presenting Donald Trump's January 6, 2021 remarks as urging supporters to walk to the Capitol and fight, appearing to encourage the riot.
- Michael Prescott's dossier alleges selective editing and broader bias at the BBC, and he sent the memo to the BBC Board after repeated warnings were dismissed.
- Editors merged distant sections of Trump's January 6, 2021 speech nearly 54 minutes apart and added foreboding music, while the original footage urged supporters to march `peacefully and patriotically` and cheer lawmakers.
- The parliamentary committee has demanded BBC chairman Samir Shah clarify Prescott's memo, while Downing Street confirmed Lisa Nandy and officials received it and Conservative figure Kemi Badenoch called for investigations.
- A BBC spokesperson responded that `While we don't comment on leaked documents, when the BBC receives feedback, it takes it seriously and considers it carefully`; Prescott's dossier also accuses BBC News Arabic of bias, prompting internal editorial reforms and oversight changes.
