TIM DAVIE Has Resigned As The Director General Of The Bbc. The Head Of Bbc News, Deborah Turness, Has Also Stepped Down From Her Position.
Their Resignations Come As The Bbc Prepares To Issue A Public Apology Over Concerns About Political Bias, Including How Former U.S. President Donald Trump’s Speech Was Edited In A Panorama Documentary.
The Controversy Centers On A Video That Cut And Joined Clips From Trump’s January 6, 2021 Speech. The Edited Version Made It Seem As If He Told His Supporters To Go To The U.S. Capitol And “Fight Hard.” The Program, Trump: A Second Chance?, Aired A Week Before Last Year’s U.S. Election.
In A Message To Bbc Staff This Evening, Mr. Davie Said The Decision To Resign Was His Own Personal Choice.
