2+ week, 1+ day ago (833+ words) Accused of being biased by some and defended as a champion of impartiality by others, the BBC is once again the subject of a thorny debate about the role of a publicly funded broadcaster in an increasingly polarized landscape. The BBC is regularly used as a political football, with the organization facing flak for how it chooses to cover issues from climate change to Brexit. Now it is under greater scrutiny than ever before, following the revelation that a documentary it aired last year misleadingly edited a speech by U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump has issued an unprecedented threat to sue over the documentary, which was broadcast before the U.S. presidential ballot and examined why U.S. voters were prepared to re-elect a convicted felon. In the former constituency of ex-prime minister Boris Johnson, a vocal critic of the BBC, one pensioner questioned by…...

2+ week, 21+ hour ago (619+ words) The British broadcaster apologized but said it would not pay damages for a misleading speech edit U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday he would sue the BBC for up to $5 billion, after the British broadcaster apologized but said it would not pay damages for a misleading speech edit. The broadcaster has rejected Trump's legal defamation claim, but the president appears determined not to let the matter rest, even after the departure of top BBC executives and as the controversy threatens to become a strain on ties with London. "We'll sue them for anywhere between a billion and five billion dollars, probably some time next week. I think I have to do it. They've even admitted that they cheated," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One. Trump earlier said he would sue the BBC for $1 billion, an already enormous sum that…...

2+ week, 6+ day ago (553+ words) The BBCs director general and its head of news both resigned Sunday after facing criticism over edits to a Donald Trump documentary.

Tim Davie and the broadcaster's head of news, Deborah Turness, resigned after accusations that a documentary by its flagship Panorama programme had edited a speech by Trump in a misleading way.

2+ week, 5+ day ago (1095+ words) British Broadcasting Corp. Director-General Tim Davie is resigning from the UK national broadcaster amid allegations it misled viewers by editing President Donald Trump's remarks in a Panorama documentary last year. The BBC on Monday apologized for the editing of the program, which aired in October 2024 and spliced together sections of a speech Trump gave in Washington on January 6 2021, the day of the post-election riot at the US Capitol. The documentary made Trump appear to say that his supporters should "walk down to the Capitol" and "fight like hell." In fact, he said they should "cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women." The "fight like hell" remark was from a different part of the speech. News chief Deborah Turness also resigned, and in a letter to the House of Commons Culture, Media and Sport Committee on Monday, the broadcaster's…...

3+ week, 4+ day ago (800+ words) OTTAWA " The federal budget is where a government explains its most ambitious long-term plans, with high-flown rhetoric and huge dollar figures. This year, it's also where we find out about the government's desire for the country to join an internationally beloved song-writing contest and to conduct space launches on Canadian turf. The annual budget is always a strange mix of big news and small-but-captivating ideas " never forget the year former prime minister Stephen Harper abolished the penny " so we dug into Tuesday's federal budget and found some of the deepest cuts from the government's spending plan. Details are slim " literally one sentence in the 400-page budget document " but Canada looks to be joining the space race. The budget announced funding of $182 million over three years to establish "sovereign space launch capability" in Canada. Buried in a section of the budget…...
