      Surprised as these days resignation comes much harder to people, usually they try and ride it out.

      Were either due before the media committee? Or were they sacrificed to make that easier for whoever is going to be questioned?

      Summary
      BBC director general Tim Davie and News CEO Deborah Turness resign over Trump documentary edit
      The Telegraph published details of a leaked internal BBC memo suggesting the programme edited two parts of Trump’s speech together so he appeared to explicitly encourage the Capitol Hill riots of January 2021
      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

      Tut tut tut.

      Not surprised. News cannot become propaganda, no matter how unlikeable the subject.

      Nice to see some good old fashioned sword falling, rare these days.

      Shame they couldn’t find a way to oust fellow Tory cunt Laura Kuenssberg with them

      Why did nobody have to resign after the BBC edited out laughter at Boris Johnson during the 2019 general election?

    7. Successful-Pin-1946 on

      Boris totally destroyed the news and BBC, weird this happened over Trump but maybe the quality can go back to where it should be.

      It actually disgusts me when I can’t sleep and turn on the news and it’s an American in some dark dingy studio. I really miss the way BBC news used to be.

      Nobody resigned when they covered up Huw Edwards though?

      (they knew the family of young boys was asking about him at the same time as the police were investigating him)

      Bloody hell, BBC News decides it’s Kelvin Mackenzie we need to hear from. Though he’s doing his best to sound reasonable and measure.

      Wait! He’s just suggested closing down BBC News and concentrating on popular entertainment.

      Makes you wonder what else they’ve edited that’s gone unnoticed. I remember when the BBC edited out the audience laughter when Boris Johnson said he doesn’t lie.

      So dumb lmao. Of all people you have to make up things about – Trump???

      “There have been some mistakes made”

      Really?

      Report the news and let us as a nation decide based on the facts.

      The facts that we pay you as a State owned broadcaster to collect and show us. Both good and bad because that’s life.

      “Some mistakes were made” – you are a disappointment Mr Davie to allow this to happen on your watch.

      Still, you got well paid so fuck the truth right?

      Strange timing on a Sunday, whats coming out in the papers tomorrow as to resign over the trump edit stuff seems very extreme

    16. Luke_4686 on

      Right decision. A truly moronic thing to do. There’s enough evidence of Trump saying bad / autocratic stuff that you don’t need to edit it anyway

      It’s a sad day really. I’m a big supporter of the BBC and will continue to be so, but even I appreciate that what we’ve learnt over the conduct over the past few weeks has been disappointing.

      I found it astounding that a media commentator who worked at the BBC over 10 years ago stated on Sky News that he didn’t know what had happened at the BBC…It’s really quite simple. Freeze the licence fee.
      Then, it had to restructure and hollow-out staff, some of which kept quality control in place across journalism.
      Come forward to recent years and glaring gaps in quality control have become apparent.

      Those whose heads have rolled in this article weren’t responsible in the entirety for this mess.

      I wish we could somehow get alternative media to be held to account like this. This story was exposed by the telegraph and the BBC apologised and the journalists resigned.

      Meanwhile your favourite podcaster and twitter shitposter has the same engagement, cranking out more lies and misinformation, and can just meme through controversy and make zero concessions when their dogshit journalism is fact checked. These alt media personalities can do this whilst relentlessly slandering mainstream media 🥴

      The BBC has been unfit for a while now. They are meant to be unbiased however agendas seep into their content

    21. BreakfastAdept9462 on

      This is fucking bullshit and this is only going to make the BBC more reluctant to call out liars and despots for what they are. Some of you lot need to get a grip about the BBC

    22. tea_would_be_lovely on

      lapse in standards, senior people should take responsibility, that’s what they have been paid for.

      and… i can’t help but feel sad that the trump administration hasn’t commented on channel 4’s „trump vs truth…“

    24. Significant_Sale6172 on

      I get the Telegraph is doing this because they hate the BBC, but they’ve literally just removed a Tory loyalist so not sure how this helps them.

      I guess they want some Reform idiot put in place. Not sure how that’s gonna happen with Labour in charge. 

    25. OkAsparagus839 on

      Tim Davie has always been utterly unsuited to that job. I’m glad the Government have found a reason to force his resignation. There have been more serious things than this he has survived

    26. ScoopTheOranges on

      Trump did call for violence, why edit it at all? Of all the people to edit to look bad, he does it fine on his own.

    27. prustage on

      US News services do stuff like this every single day and nobody admits it or apologises, let alone resigns.

      Good to see that over here we have the integrity to admit our mistakes and take appropriate action.

      Now let’s see them do something about the excessive and biased pro-Farage reporting.

    28. FrustratedPCBuild on

      Ah yes, accountability, good to see, now if only we saw the same from literally anyone in the Trump administration.

    29. Unusual-Art2288 on

      Just watched GBnews talking about this their respnse is for the BBC to stop making TV programnes, just keep the radio stations . Seems they want totally wipe out the BBC. Wonder why GBnews got against then make drama and light entertainment programmes. Who writing thier editorial guidlines?

    30. blob8543 on

      It is quite bizarre to see this guy resign for this and not for enabling Farage for years.
