Donald Trump has announced plans to sue the British Broadcasting Corporation for one billion dollars, claiming its Panorama program aired a doctored version of his speech from January 6, 2021. Trump alleges the broadcast misrepresented his words by omitting his call for peaceful protest, leading to significant financial and reputational harm. The controversy has resulted in the resignation of the BBC's director-general Tim Davie and chief executive of news Deborah Turness, amid broader accusations of institutional bias and internal conflict at the broadcaster. The BBC has acknowledged that the editing gave a misleading impression but denies systemic bias, while political and media figures debate the corporation's future and accountability.
