BBC DG Tim Davie & News CEO Deborah Turness Resign Over Trump Documentary Edit by Truths9ja(op): 11:27am On Nov 10, 2025
BBC DG, news CEO resign over Trump documentary edit

Tim Davie, director general of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC); and Deborah Turness, CEO of BBC News; have both resigned from their roles.

They tendered their resignations after the news corporation came under fire for editing a documentary involving US President Donald Trump.

Last Monday, The Telegraph published an exclusive report that showed how the edited clip made Trump appear to encourage the 2021 Capitol Hill riot.

The BBC are still trying to figure out how to get back their credibility after the failed documentary.

Too bad! So this how Donald Trump was so demonized by even the British own media? This is one bad angle to technology. It is being manipulated for evil intent.

Same BBC that claimed there is no substantial evidence of Christian genocide in Nigeria as claimed by Trump and some people here hailed them as usual.

BBC is nothing but a fake news Media. The media is very evil. It is filled with journalists sympathetic with terrorists.

They support Hamas against Israel. Infact, they were the spokesman of Hamas terrorists including Aljazeera.

The same BBC that question and counter the genocide against Christians by Islamic jihadist and terrorists in Nigeria. How low could they go ?

President Trump should ban them from white house and sue the hell out of the fake news Media.

corrupt organization that always tells pro-islamic terrorist lies. The UK has completely been overran with rich out of touch liberals and imports from Pakistan, Syria, Lebanon and North Africa. Just go to either one of Birmingham, Rochdale, Manchester or Leicester, you go laugh tire. The UK used its pro-islamic woke policies to destroy itself and now it wants the same for other countries. Never

The BBC were exposed for telling so many lies during the Gaza conflict. So Many lies, most of their advert sponsors have deserted them as well. The BBC is on its last legs.

That is one of the downsides of political connectedness and trying to be too woke for your own good undecided

I don't consume anything from the British press. They always slant stories to canonize the imperialists and demonize every other party. In sports journalism, it's even worse.

Assuming Osimhen is British, he would have been the talking point everyday on their skewed news media.

Stakeholders decision.

BBC does not have any credibility.
They have been telling lies and publishing biased and doctored stories in their so called documentaries. Typical examples are the Israel-Hamas war and their so-called documentary on late Prophet TB Joshua. Now Trump

We need to be careful as the legacy news media is now all about projecting a particular narrative and not the truth. He who pays the media dictates the news.

All they have said about Trump were all lies cos Trump stood for the truth

According to IPOB, BBC and Google has deliberately “refused to publish current developments” in Kanu’s trial, including the filing of a Magnitsky Sanctions lawsuit in Washington, D.C., against Nigerian judges, while instead “promoting biased BBC Pidgin reports.”

The group claimed the BBC reports recycled “discredited prosecution evidence” and are being amplified in Google search results to create “the false impression that a prima facie case exists against Mazi Nnamdi Kanu when, in reality, the prosecution’s case has collapsed irretrievably.”

“This is not ignorance. This is calculated censorship and collusion,” Powerful said.

Britain has always ally with Islamic extremists as part of their foreign policy.

They use them to control their past colonies and countries they have interest in. That's why They always support whatever the core north is doing in Nigeria.

A very bias news organ. You can tell from their news feed on the Gaza war. Hamas a terrorist organisation has never been refered to by that tag. Their latest documentary on Gaza used the son of a hamas official as a hero and failed to disclose
