BBC expected to apologise for doctoring Trump videos

Oh great. My hard earned licence fee will be making the orange one even richer. Thank you BBC!

Apparently a group of younger lgb types have been behind the trans nonsense and the disapproval of things they disagree with. They advised that including JKRowling could be problematical.
Many quiz shows now include a trans man or drag person. One of them was included in a list of women of the year.

Apparently the young musical types on the editorial team didn’t realise about the risks of Vile man Vylan. They need to do better.

Does OP really think other channels don't do this?

I had to laugh at this, accusing the op of bias in a post about bbc bias!

Yes the BBC have done some things wrong and are apologising for the misleading details. They are no saints, who is?? However whatever he tries to scrub out Trump actually did want people to attack the government centre of his country. I saw the whole orginal thing and was appalled that someone who is supposed to be an important politician, inciting people to go against the law, just when it does not suit him.

I have lived and travelled abroad for many years, and can tell you from my own experience, that the BBC were the most trusted source for information in the world. I actually had someone in a conflict situation say to me, that they did not trust their own countries radio to tell the truth and were waiting for the BBC world news to hear what could be believed in that situation. The strange thing was that the following day, I had someone on the other side say exactly the same thing. So it is sad if this trust has been lost in any way by their actions, but whilst I am not naive and would always be aware of the possibilities of bias, the bbc are definitely my preferred people to hear an overall view of a world situation. Also whilst this situation is going on, you are aware of many people hoping to put the BBC out of business only so that they can take over!! Everyone has a certain bias, and part of being a thinking adult , is to recognise that you do have some bias in one way or another. Overall I try to find out information from various different sources and then make up my mind after considering the wider picture. But for myself , in difficult situations, when deciding if it was safe to be somewhere, or what the possibilities were of difficulties with weather or governments , the BBC were my go to listening and the decisions I have made partly based on their information has not let me down.

I see the BBC has stopped showing the Clive Myrie virtue signalling "verify" video. If only they would do the same with the "some kids carry more than others" video which I'm sure only encourages more to jump on the "menkul elf" bandwagon

I’ll bet all the Trump haters are sobbing their hearts out. Most of what they are told about Trump is bullshit.

My impression of Trump comes from listening to what he actually says not what I hear from other sources.

I suppose that is the whole point, Maybee - can we trust that anything in the media on any news channel is really true or are we being subtly brainwashed, if we can't trust the good old BBC?

Mind you, it does take skill to make Trump sound worse than he actually is.

And so they should! Had any other TV channel done this they would have been closed down. The truth will out.

The BBC have got away with so much over the years and have always been biased and many would say, corrupt. Martin Bashir, Jimmy Savile, Huw Edwards etc

I can't think of another news station that is so scrutinised as the BBC. In this case rightly so but is GB News scrutinised at all?
I doubt it.
Get the political appointees off the board of the BBC, get the journalists back on the board before they destroy one of the most respected institutions in the world - or it was before politicians decided to destroy it from within.

So not unexpectedly the BBC is being threatened with legal action by Trump.

He will bend the BBC to his will, or get rid of it.

Whoever did the editing should be sacked. The entire BBC has just rolled over like a pathetic dog.

Remember that the BBC did this with footage of the Orgreave riots. The videos were edited and presented to make it look as it the miners attacked the police first, when it was the police who attacked first. So they have history. Very sneaky.

It was unforgivable of them to push out the LGBT nonsense and to children, and the reporting of the Israel/Gaza issue has been reprehensible.
Good idea GrannyGravy13. A link to the actual speech as made.

1. What do you mean by "LGBT nonsense"?

This could mean virtually anything! an example, perhaps?

2.
In what ways has the Israel Gaza issue news reporting by The BBC "biased"?

Making assertions with no evidence at all just doesn't cut it in any serious conversation.

So two resignations !! There is more to this than we are being told especially given that Boris got his mates on the Board!
I am not defending what has gone on as I want the BBC to be trustworthy ! However if we are gunning for them let’s go for other media areas which swing news items to suit their audiences and narratives !

Listening various commentary.

“Trump hates the BBC, not for what it gets wrong, but for what it gets right”

Reason?

Because the BBC is the most trusted news channel in the USA.

For those wanting to get rid of the BBC, to whom would you like to see it sold?

Who could afford it?

Musk?

Well, Sky America want to buy ITV. Perhaps Fox News could have the BBC?

GB News has been voted best news channel for the 4th consecutive month beating BBC, Sky etc.

By whom?

www.barb.co.uk/

Don’t know why I’m bothering actually as you will just pick holes in it.

I've looked at the BARB site and can't find anything about voting for a news channel. But there's so much information I might have missed it.

I do note that their last figure for the 50 most viewed shows, which only gives figure for 15 shows, doesn't include anything from GB News.

If it is correct that GB News has been voted the best news channel that is what it it is, but it says nothing about the integrity of what the channel presents.

In view of the OFCom judgements detailed by LizzieDrip on the other thread (Sun 9th Nov, 21.52) it appears that GB News isn't exactly a beacon of accuracy and impartiality. This clearly doesn't bother its viewers. A number of which are here screaming blue murder about the BBC

Just looked up 'woke' for myself and it means
'to recognise systemic inequalities and advocate for change'.
Are you against that?

I’ve looked at that before now Maremia
But nowadays, woke is often used
either as an insult towards anyone who says something you don’t like
or
As a claim that you know more/better, than anyone who says something you disagree with.
Oreo’s description also fits a current use of woke!

Very true varian
Something which has always puzzled me.

Gosh, varian, maybe with a new boss we will see less of Farage.
Result.
