The BBC has apologized to U.S. President Donald Trump after the UK broadcaster was accused of selectively editing the speech he made on the day of the 2021 U.S. Capitol breach in its broadcast on Oct. 28, 2024, titled “Donald Trump: A Second Chance?”
“We accept that our edit unintentionally created the impression that we were showing a single continuous section of the speech, rather than excerpts from different points in the speech, and that this gave the mistaken impression that President Trump had made a direct call for violent action,” the BBC wrote in its Corrections and Clarifications section, published on the evening of Nov. 13.
