President Donald Trump thanked The Telegraph in a post Sunday for “exposing these Corrupt ‘Journalists'” following the resignations at BBC
Director-General Tim Davie and News CEO Deborah Turness bot announced their resignations from the network Sunday following criticism and calls for resignation after a speech given by President Donald Trump was edited in a documentary.
“The TOP people in the BBC, including TIM DAVIE, the BOSS, are all quitting/FIRED, because they were caught ‘doctoring’ my very good (PERFECT!) speech of January 6th,” Trump said in the post on Truth Social Sunday afternoon.
“Thank you to The Telegraph for exposing these Corrupt ‘Journalists.’ These are very dishonest people who tried to step on the scales of a Presidential Election,” the President continued, noting that the BBC is from a country “that many consider our Number One Ally.”
“What a terrible thing for Democracy!” he concluded.
Many have accused the BBC Panorama documentary Trump: A Second Chance? of being misleading after The Telegraph reported that two parts of the speech were edited together so that Trump appeared to encourage the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
There have been other bias allegations aimed at the BBC, with the network facing complaints over its reporting on the war in Gaza and coverage of transgender issues.
