Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already (16 Viewers)

Why am I not surprised you think so

Who in any media capacity agrees with you? I’ve not actually seen anyone defend it.

Being upset with him being shown saying something he said given what happened right after is just a bit odd in my opinion

I don’t care much for Trump so ‘being upset’ is a little OTT. I am concerned about how people consume media/information these days though and it appears more and more that as long as it aligns with their thinking on a subject, it doesn’t matter if it’s wholly accurate/factual. We’re on a slippery slope

Countless Trump interviews have been favourably edited in his favour without comment by his sycophants on here.

Dear me - find anyone who is defending the BBC other than you. It’s nothing to do with Trump

In what context was Trump saying "fight like hell"?

It's obviously not good to mislead by way of the edit but we're talking about something here that was years after the event and not exactly presenting something that was a million miles away from the truth.

Yet this has people up in arms, people who I suspect did not take similar issue to the Newsnight having to issue an apology after stating Corbyn had never apologised for anti-semistism in the Labour Party or the numerous errors in Panorama's 'Is Labour Antisemitic'. Just two of I'm sure many examples that spring to mind

For people who already have an axe to grind with the BBC and have their noses rammed up Trump's arse it's a wet dream.

So you are OK with politicians speeches being cut & pasted in whatever way the BBC wish to portray someone so they appear to have said something they did not?

There is of course the Martine Croxhall fiasco as well

Tim Davie has resigned. It seems he eventually gets the point - unlike some kn here

BBC director general Tim Davie and News CEO Deborah Turness resign over Trump documentary edit - BBC News

"BBC director general Tim Davie and CEO of News Deborah Turness have resigned over a documentary about Donald Trump

The Telegraph had published details of a leaked internal BBC memo suggesting Panorama edited two parts of Trump's speech together so he appeared to explicitly encourage the Capitol Hill riots of January 2021

In a statement, Davie says: "There have been some mistakes made and as director general I have to take ultimate responsibility" - read it in full

"The whole board respects the decision," the BBC chair says

The leaked memo came from Michael Prescott, a former independent external adviser to the broadcaster's editorial standards committee. He left the role in June

Davie's departure after five years as boss follows other separate BBC controversies in recent months, including of its Glastonbury coverage"

I guess BSB's judgement is flawed.

I guess BSB's judgement is flawed.

The entire speech was designed to whip up the insurrection. I know we want a revisionist history of the election and the riots he incited but getting someone at the BBC to resign because his words were broadcast isn't the way to achieve it.

Regardless of the Trump story it's good to see the back of Davie.
