BBC chairman's apology letter over Trump speech edit, in full
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"This apology follows the recent resignations of two senior BBC figures: chief executive of BBC News Deborah Turness and director-general Tim Davie. Both announced their departure on Sunday after concerns were highlighted in Michael Prescott's report. In a letter to the Culture, Media and Sport Committee (CMS), Mr Shah acknowledged over 500 complaints since the memo's release. He stated: "We accept that the way the speech was edited did give the impression of a direct call for violent action.""
Journalists are deployed on the ground to investigate reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, including financials of Elon Musk's pro‑Trump PAC and the documentary 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet emphasizes parsing facts from messaging and keeps reporting free without paywalls, financing journalism through donations. BBC chairman Samir Shah apologised for an "error of judgment" in editing a speech by US President Donald Trump for Panorama. Two senior BBC figures, Deborah Turness and Tim Davie, resigned after concerns; Mr Shah acknowledged over 500 complaints.
