The BBC has been forced to apologise for the “error of judgement” that saw Donald Trump’s speech on Jan 6 2021 edited misleadingly – as revealed by The Telegraph – in an episode of Panorama in October 2024.
Samir Shah, the BBC chairman, made the remarks in a letter to the Commons culture, media and sport committee following Sunday night’s resignations of director-general Tim Davie and chief executive of BBC News Deborah Turness, though it hasn’t stopped Mr Trump threatening legal action against the broadcaster. Mr Shah also denied claims of institutional bias.
On this edition of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley ask what is next for the BBC, address the claims aired on Radio 4’s Today programme this morning that Davie and Turness were victims of a “Right-wing coup”, and speak to former BBC director of television Danny Cohen who claims the corporations’s “gaslighting of Jews” is there for all to see after Michael Prescott’s report also criticised the output of BBC Arabic.
