BBC director resigns after row over Trump documentary edit • FRANCE 24 English
He has led the British Broadcasting Corporation, the BBC, as director general since 2020. Tim Davyy has now resigned, as has Deborah Turnis, the CEO of BBC News. Their departure comes amid mounting pressure after an internal BBC report leaked to the Telegraph newspaper cited failings in BBC coverage of the Israel Hamas conflict, trans issues, and the way a speech by the US President Donald Trump was edited. Soon as uh we started publishing our stories, uh Tim Davey’s position had become untenable. Um the author of the papers exclusive, Gordon Raina, says Davey had known for about 6 months how footage of Trump in a BBC Panorama documentary last year had been edited. We’ve been reporting on kept quiet. I think he hoped this would all go away. Uh it hasn’t. I think it’s also important to make the point that uh all of these things happened uh under his watch and as a result of a a culture that has been allowed to build under his leadership. Trump reacted to the resignations in London saying the top people in the BBC including Tim Davyy the boss are all quitting fired because they were caught doctring my very good perfect speech of January the 6th. Thank you to the Telegraph for exposing these corrupt journalists. The Telegraph published an extract of the documentary to show how Trump’s speech made just before the 6th of January insurrection in 2021 had been edited. We’re going to walk down to the capital and I’ll be there with you and we fight. We fight like hell. We’re going to walk down to the Capitol and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women. This crisis for the BBC is the latest in a series.
The director general of Britain’s BBC, Tim Davie, and the chief executive of news, Deborah Turness, have stepped down following criticism over bias at the corporation, including in the way it edited a speech by US President Donald Trump.
