BBC expected to apologize is not an apology

BBC expected to apologize after using doctored footage of Trump’s Jan. 6 speech in documentary: report



The BBC is reportedly expected to apologize after using a “doctored” clip of President Trump’s Jan. 6, 2021, speech in a documentary released last year.

BBC chairman Samir Shah will apologize to the UK House of Commons Culture, Media and Sport Committee on Monday, expressing regret for misleading viewers by splicing together clips of Trump’s “Stop the Steal” rally in the Panorama documentary, which aired last October, the Telegraph reported. 

The mea culpa comes after Michael Prescott, the British network’s former Editorial Guidelines and Standards adviser, released a damning 19-page report alleging widespread bias within the organization and highlighting warnings he issued in May about the “doctored” speech, according to the outlet.
