I’m shocked!

Personally, i thought he supported Jan 6th because he did actually support it and not because of editing.

With such blatant support, you wouldn’t think the alledgedly impartial BBC would have to manufacture their own snippets for effect.

I don’t think it changed much in terms of peoples feelings around Trump but what it does is leaves the BBC in a poor light, because what other clips/videos/etc. will they manufacture. Bad enough with AI warping things

I hope you didn’t only just now see the BBC for what it is? An establishment mouthpiece?

Trump’s corruption is naked and there for all to see. No manipulation should be required.

Which is exactly my issue - there are more than enough real soundbites that Trump provides daily. Why do the BBC feel the need to manufacture more “evidence”!? And so then it begs the question, when they are manufacturing snippets and news (to suit what I have to assume is an agenda), then what eles are they manufacturing when real evidence is not so blatant.

No editing required, he called on those thugs to take the capitol, then he pardoned them all and has the front to call Democrats “extremists”.

So the Torygraph has gone full fascist now? Who would have seen that coming?

Are you suggesting the Telegraph are lying about Panorama?

No. The Torygraph’s framing of it ignores the fact that Trump did cause that attempted insurrection.

“The BBC is accused of editing a Trump speech to make him seem to back the Capitol riot”
Almost suggests that minus the editing by the BBC Trump’s speech wouldn’t have implored the rioters to go to the Capitol building.

Makes you wonder why they did it then.

So why did the BBC edit footage to make it look worse when it was already so clear and obvious? (rhetorical)

Is the Telegraph’s framing of it really worse than the BBC’s framing (doctoring) of the video footage?

I think its pretty simple, they wanted people to watch their show.

It happens with so many interviews on TV. Producers want to cut-out the chaff and make them shorter for our much shorter modern-day attention spans. Take “noddies”, those clips of the interviewer nodding at the interviewee are recorded before or after the interview and are a useful tool for cutting a chunk out of the interview in a way that doesn’t look obvious.

BBC produces nothing of value outside of MoTD and even that has dwindled.

Bin them off completely.

I’m very impressed with Polanski.

I think that’s where my vote will go in 2029.

Maybe we should be serious about standards in healthcare again and not pinching every penny in short term gain?
