Can’t believe “BBC Verify” didn’t pick this up!

Re: BBC doctored Trump speech and knowingly mislead viewers
 

there will be the normal excuse of we should have picked up on it sooner and we will investigate ways so that it does not happen again (read not get found out doing it again). Starmer will do nothing as he has enough issues of his own to brush under the carpet without getting involved with the BBC

if Trump gets wind of it [pun intended] it'll bye bye trade deals and hello tariffs

In the days before AI, there were the video and audio editors at the BBC....

I doubt he cares.

Re: BBC accused of doctoring Trump speech
 

Seems like a desperate attempt to make something out of nothing TBH.

Thats called editing, pretty much a part of ever single TV show.
So their gripe seems to be it wasnt edited how "they" would have liked.

No the gripe is that the video was edited to imply he directly incited people to go to Capitol Hill and fight fight fight.

It wouldn't really be that much a deal, only that the BBC have made themselves the self arbiters of truth against Mis-information and Dis-information.

Where here they have deliberately doctored video to push a narrative.

If it wasn't for Mariella Spring and BBC Verify, I probably wouldn't care. But I can't abide hyprocrisy.

And which woke wonder will take his place

Re: BBC accused of doctoring Trump speech
 

I find this a bit odd as it's a relatively minor scandal. The BBC under Davie has had far bigger scandals than this.

Re: BBC accused of doctoring Trump speech
 

That’s because you’re swallowing the BBC’s relentless spin over the weekend that this relates only to an ‘oopsie!’ moment in a Panorama edit suite during which Trump may have been badly edited but was really only made to say what everyone already knew he meant. The purveyors of official comedy opinion on HIGNFY said as much on Friday night’s show, on the 15 or so seconds devoted to it.

This whole thing comes back to the Michael Prescott memo which the Telegraph got hold of last week, which tore the BBC to shreds over a range of issues. It shed light on the Panorama incident - which actually is extremely serious, and a failure of standards that is egregious and shocking for a broadcaster of the BBC’s reach and reputation - and it also detailed problems at the BBC’s out-of-control Arabic unit, which has been cheerleading for Hamas in a way the main newsroom has never done even for British armed forces since before the Falklands. The memo also set out what a lot of people have long suspected, that the BBC’s own LGBTWTAF desk has been acting as effective gatekeeper and censor, ensuring not only that approved stories are treated in approved ways, but preventing inconvenient material getting airtime at all.

The BBC’s news and current affairs operation is utterly out of control, except that parts of it absolutely are under the control of various interest groups. All of this has happened on Davie’s and Turness’ watch and they had no choice but to go.

The BBC is doing what it likes to do on its website these days and running rolling text updates which, amongst other things, allow it to acknowledge and then bury parts of the story it finds especially problematic. It has acknowledged the memo’s criticism of its Gaza and Trans coverage in this paragraph published half an hour ago: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cd9k...3144b853a#post
