Right-wing political observers and analysts erupted on Sunday after an investigation by The Telegraph revealed that the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) edited a clip of President Donald Trump speaking ahead of the January 6 insurrection, exhibiting other forms of apparent bias against the former U.S. president.
The investigation, published on November 3, identified nine instances where the BBC either edited footage or displayed other types of bias against President Trump. In response to these revelations, BBC News CEO Deborah Turness and Director General Tim Davie resigned, sending shockwaves through Trump’s support base.
Many supporters took to social media to voice their opinions. Right-wing journalist Matt Goodwin posted on X, “This is just straight-up propaganda. BBC Verify should be shut down. It is an ideological indoctrination unit masquerading as an independent ‘fact checker.’ The ‘most trusted broadcaster’ caught faking it.” Fox News host Laura Ingraham echoed similar sentiments, writing, “@BBC bosses out after doctoring a Trump speech. @POTUS claims another victory against ‘fake news’ as boss and deputy at the world’s ‘most trusted’ broadcaster the BBC resign after network doctored Donald Trump speech. Fake news incarnate.”
Entrepreneur Joe Gebbia also shared his thoughts, stating on X, “BBC duped the world. GOOD RIDDANCE!” Right-wing media personality Eric Daugherty expressed his views with a post simply stating, “The media is facing ACCOUNTABILITY. About time.” Meanwhile, GBN anchor Alex Armstrong commented, “The BBC is finally being held accountable.”
This development has further fueled the ongoing debate over media bias and trustworthiness, especially among Trump’s supporters and critics alike.
