Donald Trump to Sue BBC 'Within Hours'

Source: Newsweek

President Donald Trump said he plans to sue the BBC "within hours" during a press briefing ahead of a medal-pinning ceremony on Monday. Trump previously announced his intentions to sue the network for up to $15 billion following the resignation of BBC Director-General Tim Davie and BBC News CEO Deborah Turness in November.

Their resignations were tendered after many accused the BBC Panorama documentary Trump: A Second Chance? of being misleading following a report from The Telegraph. The report said that two parts of the speech were edited together so that Trump appeared to encourage the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.

"They had me saying things that I never said coming out. I guess they used AI or something," Trump explained Monday, adding, "So we'll be bringing that lawsuit."

Why It Matters

The dispute escalated following the BBC’s admission that its Panorama documentary, aired days before the 2024 U.S. presidential election, spliced Trump’s remarks from separate points in his speech to create a misleading narrative suggesting a call for violent action. The controversy prompted the resignations of Davie and Turness, and has stirred international debate on media accountability, press freedom and the viability of cross-border defamation claims.

You can't change things to the opposite meaning, but it's accepted journalistic practice ... don't you think so?

Did they skip the part where he said don't attack the capital?

They must be shaking in their boots at the BBC.
