I’m sorry that you are upset that the BBC edit showed the president calling for violence in a summarized form that is apparently extremely different from his long form call for violence.
This whole scandal is straight up 1984 “don’t believe your lying eyes” level bullshit
- aydyn 11mo agoThey literally changed the meaning of his words. Dont be partisan.
- lovich 11mo agoHe called for violence at the capital. How was the meaning of his words changed?
- aydyn 11mo agoBecause he did not. The BBC ended up apologizing and the general director resigning, so obviously they know they fucked up. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c874nw4g2zzo https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c874nw4g2zzo
- cbeach 11mo agoI think if you watch the two videos (original vs edited) you'll understand just how egregious this editing was. And it's not the first time the BBC has deliberately misquoted Trump to make him look like he is inciting. There is another news show where they did similar. And 2018, the BBC to to Twitter to misquote Trump as saying "war [with Iran] will follow" as opposed to what he actually said ("more will follow"). Their "apology" was blatent trolling - when called out on their fake quote, they replied "#ourbad" (yes, hashtag "ourbad") https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/09/26/bad-bbc-accused-fake-news-misheard-donald-trump-declare-war/ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/09/26/bad-bbc-accused-...
- lovich 11mo agoI did watch both the edit and the long form when I watched on the edge of my seat during the day of. He called for violence on Jan 6th. Now we need to pretend he didn’t because he’s the king and everyone is bending the knee.
