BBC Director General Tim Davie and News CEO Deborah Turness resigned on Sunday following a Telegraph investigation that exposed a misleading edit in the 2021 Panorama documentary ‘Trump’s American Carnage.’
The program spliced two excerpts from Donald Trump’s January 6 speech, 54 minutes apart, to suggest incitement to storm the Capitol, despite internal warnings about bias that executives ignored.
The BBC plans to issue an apology on Monday, amid demands from UK politicians and Trump allies for reforms to address impartiality concerns.
