Trump Threatens To Sue As BBC Scrambles Over Misleading J6 Documentary | Eastern NC Now

    According to the BBC, President Donald Trump has sent a letter to the news outlet threatening legal action after the network aired an edited clip of Trump's January 6, 2021, remarks in a documentary that was presented out of context.

    BBC Director General Tim Davie and CEO of News Deborah Turness have both stepped down following revelations that the documentary misled viewers by deceptively editing Trump's speech.

    According to The Telegraph, a leaked internal BBC memo revealed that the program spliced together separate portions of Trump's remarks, making it appear he explicitly encouraged chaos at the Capitol. The memo also reportedly warned of "systemic problems" of bias within the BBC's coverage, including its Arabic service's reporting on the Israel-Gaza conflict.

    The fallout was immediate. Davie, who had served as director general for five years, admitted, "There have been some mistakes made and as director general I have to take ultimate responsibility." Turness, who ran the BBC's News and Current Affairs division, followed suit, saying that the documentary controversy had "reached a stage where it is causing damage to the BBC ... The buck stops with me."

    The edited clip showed Trump saying, "We're going to walk down to the Capitol, and I'll be there with you. And we fight. We fight like hell."


    In reality, Trump stated, "We're going to walk down to the Capitol, and we're gonna cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women." More than 8400 words later, he declared, "Most people would stand there at 9 o'clock in the evening and say I want to thank you very much, and they go off to some other life. But I said something's wrong here, something is really wrong, can have happened. And we fight. We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore."

    BBC Chair Samir Shah has since apologized, admitting the broadcast represented an "error of judgment." But critics argue the damage is already done, pointing to years of mounting accusations that the BBC's news division has drifted leftward.

Under the cover of Covid, and now in the shadow of the infamous Election Irregularities of that fated 2020 presidential election, with current emerging alleged election fraud in Nevada and Pennsylvania inconveniently slipping into the public discourse, there is proved a colluded ongoing Election Interference in the nomination of the Republican candidate, the likes of which has never occurred in our Constitutional Republic's history, albeit, the question remains: Do you support the plain-sight Election Interference of the Democratic Socialist party, employing its minions in their Propagandistic Media, and their Two Tiered Justice System?

  No, I do not support Election Interference; I am a patriot unto our Constitution.

  Yes, I do support Election Interference; the alternative, Donald Trump, to this mentally diminished president is far worse.

  "What, me worry" if elections are rigged?

Now that President Trump is picking his cabinet and immediate staff to insulate him from the poor judgement of the Bureaucratic Class, while moving quickly to transition this Constitutional Republic unto a wise and sustainable direction: What is your immediate impression as to how our nation will prosper?

  We are headed toward a Golden Age in America's self-governed society.

  This will all wind up in a clustered mess since Trump is a Fascist, and thought to be the second coming of Adolf Hitler by our best journalists.

  This is a time where critical days lay ahead, where only wise and responsible decisions must be made to sustain US.

  I generally do not pay attention, but expect only the best to occur ... and that is what I always expect.
