Controversial Coverage

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is in hot tea over its January 6, 2021, documentary.

The film, released last October, featured clips from Trump’s speech urging his supporters to protest the 2020 election results; but a recently leaked internal report revealed that BBC had edited out Trump’s calls to march “peacefully.” 

On Sunday, POTUS’s lawyers warned the BBC to retract the documentary’s “false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements,” apologize, and “appropriately compensate” Trump by Friday or face a $1B lawsuit. The same day, the media giant’s director and news CEO resigned amid the report’s broader allegations that BBC leadership “repeatedly failed” to address systemic editorial bias.

BBC Chair Samir Shah apologized for the misleading edit, calling it an “error in judgment,” but denied any allegations of widespread bias.

Verse to consider when checking your own heart for bias… “Keep me from the way of deceit and graciously give me your instruction. I have chosen the way of truth; I have set your ordinances before me. I cling to your decrees; LORD, do not put me to shame. I pursue the way of your commands, for you broaden my understanding.”
