He talks like he had nothing to do with it. Mistakes were made and some people did something...

This is good news.

Maybe the BBC will be just a bit more careful with their propaganda.

It is a start...

Too late. Shut out the BBC from any broadcasts in the U.S. They're owned by The Crown and are interfering in our government.

In addition, seize any equipment until they pay every penny of the fines for illegal political contributions-in-kind.

Good! I had a feeling there would be blood spilt at the BBC when I read about this last week. I’m wondering if Trumps Team behind the scenes was threatening them with legal avenues and this was an agreement of sorts. Can Trump sue them monetarily??

I think they've already settled.

Ten million dollars to Trump's Presidential Library.

“However, in the Panorama edit he was shown saying: “We’re going to walk down to the Capitol... and I’ll be there with you. And we fight. We fight like hell.”

The two sections of the speech that were edited together were more than 50 minutes apart”

How did they think this would go unchallenged, and without repercussions? These two clowns should have fallen on their swords, but no doubt there is lower levels of management rot at the BBC and they approved this editing.

What was the DNC payoff to the BCC to get them to do this? The US and the whole world dodged a terrible bullet when Harris/Walz got their asses handed to them by American citizens. Just chew on where we’d be today if they’d “won”.

The BBC has dug its own grave. No sympathy for them.

“ How did they think this would go unchallenged, and without repercussions?”

Would they not think this? The event did happen almost 5 years ago.

IIRC, the Trumps have successfully sued foreign entities for this nonsense. IDK if true.

Right. I think it was in 6th grade when we learned the difference between active and passive statements. He passive weeniness is an effort to minimize his own bad acts.

The news report, however, aired in October 2024.

The airdate, not the event date, was the timing predicate to these dismissals

(As noted in the reports about this)

" BBC Director-General Tim Davie and the head of BBC News resigned after a former adviser accused the broadcaster of “serious and systemic” bias in its coverage of Donald Trump, Gaza, and transgender issues"

So Trump was just a drop in the bucket of the BBC's lying. Note how the article cleans up the mess with words like "Bias" Sorry it's much more sinister than "Bias"

Well if they fired him before the Titanic sailed good for him. If they fired him after the ship sailed, no big deal.

Yep, and the perps probably already have their slam dunk hiring interviews set up at Oxford / Cambridge.
