BBC's Billion-Dollar Jan 6 Mashup: Trump Demands Apology Remix
In a cinematic plot twist worthy of Netflix but sadly cheaper, the BBC apologized to President Trump for editing his 2021 Jan. 6 speech like it was on fast-forward, splicing together moments 50 minutes apart to suggest he called for violence. This 'Panorama' episode, ominously titled 'Trump: A Second Chance?,' was so controversial the BBC lost two top leaders Sunday, probably Googling 'how to un-drama documentary.' Trumpâs legal team then slapped a $1 billion defamation threat on Doctor Whoâs favorite broadcaster, demanding apology, retraction, and cold hard cash. BBC Chair Samir Shah sent a personal apology to the White House, but held firm that their cinematic liberties didnât exactly defame anyone â just molded history like Play-Doh.
