The Latest BBC Scandal: Malpractice, Deception, and Fraud
This scandal should compel the Government to permanently abolish the exploitative licence fee. Jacob Rees-Mogg described the BBC's doctoring of President Donald Trump's speech as "devastating for their reputation at home and abroad."
Details of the Manipulation
A leaked internal memo obtained by The Telegraph reveals that the BBC altered a speech by President Trump to falsely suggest he encouraged the Capitol Hill riot.
- The Panorama programme edited separate segments of Trump’s speech.
- Foreboding music was added to the footage.
- They juxtaposed the speech with riot footage filmed before the speech took place.
The intent was to create a misleading impression that Trump urged supporters to act violently.
Strong Condemnation
“This scandal should force the Government to scrap the exploitative licence fee once and for all.”
Jacob Rees-Mogg said the BBC’s actions are "devastating for their reputation at home and abroad."
This deceit goes beyond previous editorial misconduct such as Martin Bashir’s interview with Princess Diana. Unlike Diana, who agreed to the interview, Trump was attributed words he never spoke. The BBC, funded by public money, presented distorted footage to advance a left-wing agenda.
