Nothing that can't be easily fixed by placing a few heads on spikes outside BBC studios.

I'm surprised. Trump is such a non-stop firehose of bullshit and lies it isn't really necessary to splice things together.

The BBC's program was in 2021. It should be noticed that it's only in 2025 does someone actually mention about it's accuracy. It's one of those blink and you missed it.

I wouldn't expect anyone in the UK to notice. Their deceptive editing fit the confirmation bias.

Seen from the UK it seemed likely that the invasion of the Whitehouse was triggered by Trump's claim that he had won the election - I don't know if any American would agree with this assessment.

In the US, we have free speech, where we don't hold someone responsible for incitement without actual language inciting the actual action.

Fair enough. UK law is more about establishing culpability - that's just the way way we do it. That in no way exonerates the BBC from splicing without making absolutely clear that this had been done and giving a link to the full transcript. Under the circumstances the timeline is important, also the difference between UK and US law and perceptions of the law.

It's not that complicated. It's deception and journalistic malpractice.

Could you clarify what you think would have been a fair report - without deception and malpractice - you say this isn't complicated .. so..?
