The BBC is under serious pressure after it was accused of “doctoring” Donald Trump’s January 6 speech to make it appear that the US President was encouraging his supporters to riot in the Capitol.
A leaked 19-page dossier shared with The Telegraph by a whistleblower revealed that a Panorama programme broadcast a week before the 2024 US Presidential Election “completely misled” viewers by showing the 47th President telling his supporters he was going to walk to the Capitol with them to “fight like hell” against his 2020 defeat.
Mr Trump instead insisted that he would walk with his supporters “to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard”.
The dossier concluded that Panorama had made Mr Trump “say things [he] never actually said” by “mangling” footage from the start of his speech with a segment from nearly an hour later.
As a result, GB News is asking: Can trust ever be restored in the BBC?
