BBC Apologizes to Trump for Misleading Edit

BBC Apologizes to Trump for Misleading Edit, Amidst Leadership ShakeupThe BBC issued a public apology to former US President Donald Trump for a misleading edit in a program about him, which aired before the 2024 presidential election. The BBC strongly disagreed with any basis for a defamation claim. This incident is part of a larger crisis for the British public broadcaster, following questions about the accuracy of its journalism and Trumps hint at a billion-dollar lawsuit. The controversy began when a program spliced together three quotes from two different parts of a speech, making it appear as though Trump was encouraging supporters to storm the US Capitol. The BBCs chairman personally sent a letter to Trump expressing regret, but maintained that it did not defame him. Trump has not responded to the BBCs apology or its rejection of his demands for compensation. Legal experts suggest that Trump might face challenges if he pursues a lawsuit.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
