Is this a form of election interference, even though they are not in the US? I believe this is. But I think this opens up a more local concern for the UK citizens to question. If the BBC is willing to lie about an American presidential candidate, what are they willing to lie about in England. I wonder if trump is using this for something for the UK now.
"The fallout from the scandal led to the resignations of BBC director general Tim Davie and head of news Deborah Turness on Sunday."
The confession:
"We accept that our edit unintentionally created the impression that we were showing a single continuous section of the speech, rather than excerpts from different points in the speech, and that this gave the mistaken impression that President Trump had made a direct call for violent action," the statement said.
However, they are stating that they will not pay damages. I sincerely hope the President sues them for defamation anyway. And given the circumstances, I would think there's a chance a citizen(s) could successfully sue the BBC over their deception.
" ...unintentionally created the impression that we were showing a single continuous section of the speech, rather than excerpts from different points..."
"Unintentionally," my ass! You can't "unintentionally" cut-and-paste a video clip.
Oh golly gee, isn’t that great….wtf? How does that undo any of the damage that was inflicted on us? Brainwashing people across the world with literal lies.
Execution of all involved. Maybe that would stop this out of control media. Doubt it but it would be a start.
Apology is literally so worthless that it’s an insult to every right minded human being on the planet.
Execute all the traitors, the liars, the propagandists, etc.
ALL.
Sue the bastards. And make them run a correction admitting they did it intentionally cause they are clown. Everyday for a month.
Swedish TV did the same,go after those commies as well.
Your apology is accepted, as soon as the billion dollar check clears.
apologies are admissions of guilt
Take their money and bankrupt them.

Apology is not enough. The BBC needs to be taken down. It's state propaganda.
apologies are an admission of guilt
But they won't stop lying just because they got caught. This is the BBC.
they may when they get sued 7 ways from sunday for slander and/or libel
Unintentionally my a$$. That's a lie not an apology.

It's propaganda, clear and simple.
Too late & too bad. Sue them into bankruptcy.
Thanks for making it an absolute certainty Trump will sue.
Why would he not, when he's already garnered $66 million from similar defamation suits just recently?
Sue the BBC for calumny and cite the apology as cause.
Thanks for bringing a great word to the board, calumny.
The verb rocks too - calumniate!
They apologized….?
