Controversy Over BBC's Manipulation of Trump's Speech
A former BBC consultant, Michael Prescott, has accused the network of altering Donald Trump's Capitol Hill speech to influence public opinion.
In January 2025, Trump's speech sparked a heated debate after the storming of the Capitol. The US president was accused of inciting violence, but recent revelations suggest the BBC may have manipulated his speech.
Trump stated: "We're going to Capitol Hill, and I'll be there with you, and we're going to fight. We're going to fight like hell."
A key line was extracted from Trump's nearly 70-minute speech, which was scheduled to air in 2025, to make it appear as if it were inciting the storming of the Capitol.
The controversy has significant implications, with many questioning the BBC's editing practices and their potential impact on public opinion.
