Donald Trump Jr. has blasted the BBC as “fake news” after a report alleged that the broadcaster deliberately edited footage of former President Donald Trump’s speech ahead of the January 6, 2021 Capitol riots.
The FAKE NEWS "reporters" in the UK are just as dishonest and full of shit as the ones here in America!!!!

Citing a whistleblower memo from former BBC adviser Michael Prescott, The Telegraph (UK) revealed that a 2024 BBC Panorama episode titled Trump: A Second Chance? spliced together Trump’s remarks from different parts of his speech to make it seem as though he urged supporters to “fight like hell” and march on the Capitol.
The memo claimed the edits materially misled viewers by altering the sequence of events. BBC management reportedly denied any breach of editorial standards, but the episode has since been removed from circulation. Trump Jr. responded on X, saying British journalists were “just as dishonest” as their U.S. counterparts.
INSANE: BBC Panorama *edited footage* of Trump's speech to make it look like he encouraged the Capitol Hill riot.
The Trump hating leftists at the BBC broadcast the programme a week before the US election.
