BBC formally apologizes to President Trump for documentary edit

The BBC formally apologized to President Trump over a misleading edit of his Jan. 6 speech in the “Panorama” documentary but said it will not rebroadcast the program or provide compensation.

Trump had threatened a $1 billion defamation lawsuit unless the broadcaster issued a retraction, apology, and payment.

The apology acknowledged the edit created the false impression that Trump made a direct call for violence, though the BBC denied the edit warranted a defamation claim.

The controversy led to the resignation of two top BBC leaders and renewed allegations of systemic bias at the broadcaster, Axios has reported.

The incident has intensified scrutiny over the BBC’s editorial practices and its license fee funding amid claims of political distortion.
