BBC to apologise over edited Trump speech after backlash
"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. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"The BBC is set to apologise for editing a speech made by US President Donald Trump in a Panorama episode after backlash as a government minister said decisions at the broadcaster are not always well thought through. The corporation was accused of misleading viewers in a Panorama episode by selectively editing a speech made by Trump ahead of the Capitol riots in 2021, according to a leaked memo."
Coverage spans reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, including investigations into Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and a documentary, 'The A Word', about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet emphasizes the need for reporters on the ground and solicits donations to continue sending journalists to present both sides of stories. The Independent states it is trusted across the political spectrum and avoids paywalls, arguing quality journalism should be available to everyone and funded by those who can afford it. The BBC plans to apologise after a leaked memo called a Panorama edit of a Trump speech misleading ahead of the 2021 Capitol riots.
