BBC expected to apologise for doctoring Trump videos

Maremia

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!

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

Who could afford it?

Musk?

Very true varian
Something which has always puzzled me.

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

What a shame. I used to love the BBC, it was something reliable and trustworthy. Things have obviously changed for the worse - splicing a video like that would have been unheard of not so long ago.

The right wing bias of the BBC has damaged our politics. It's relentless promotion of Farage and his "party" is disgraceful. In the years running up to 2016 Farage appeared on Question Time 29 times.

Just compare the amount of BBC coverage give to Farage and his 4 MPs with the time they give to Sir Ed Davey who has 72 LibDem MPs.

Tim Davie’s salary as DG at the BBC was £540,000 p.a.
Crikey.
No wonder he hung on.
Mind you he’ll be given a golden handshake, doubtless. A fancy package of some sort.
Out of our licence money?

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

By whom?

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

I have been flicking through all the channels this morning and the BBC is the main topic. It seems that the majority of people on all channels are very disappointed in the BBC and all the coverups that have taken place. The lists just go on and on as people remember past failures of the BBC. Even Jeremy Vine, who has made millions out of the BBC, is agreeing with callers.

This is a shame really as I grew up thinking you could trust BBC news.
Clearly not.
And people moan about GB news.

I note that the Telegraph editor is triumphantly tooting that Trump has thanked them for attacking the BBC.

Surprise, surprise!!!

And thanks for your excellent post above WW (8.39) - astute, thoughtful and measured, unlike some of the ‘oo, shock, horror’ hyperbole posts currently swirling around.

Woke has gone way past what it meant originally and has expanded to accept all kinds of craziness.Schools aiding and abetting any furries in their midst for one.😬

👏👏👏

Pro Hamas, anti Israel, single sex marriage, anti Trump, anti wealth, pro climate change, pro abortion, anti Christianity…. Children changing gender identity… is this woke?

What is a 'woke'?

It’s people who have views that Boz doesn't approve of, I would guess?

What is a 'woke'?

Can the woke incompetent board also now resign?

Editing is probably the overall process.
Splicing is done by a technician, at the behest probs of the Editor or Director

And exactly who is the unfortunate editor or team of editors involved in the splicing of the Trump film? Were they freelance? On whose authority, if any was the alteration agreed? How often does this happen one wonders?

I would like to know all this too.

And especially the bit about how often this happens.

Surely editing is entirely different to spling and doctoring?

I simply can't imagine how difficult the job is, fighting institutionalized bias at all levels in a huge corporation. I do have some sympathy for him.

True. Only 86% of the license fee goes to the BBC.

At 01.59

Thank you WhiteWave. The fact that The Telegraph and Johnson are the 'cheer leaders' has significance.

Oh the irony. Johnson leading a campaign to get at the truth!

Excellent post at 8.39, Wwmk2. 👏👏👏
