Trump threatens BBC with 1 Billion dollar lawsuit over faked documentary

Donald Trump has threatened legal action against the BBC and welcomed the resignations of two of its most senior figures after a campaign against the broadcaster that reached fever pitch over criticism that its flagship documentary programme in 2024 used a misleading edit of a Trump speech.

Lawyers for the US president said that the BBC must retract the Panorama documentary by Friday or face a lawsuit for “no less” than $1bn (£760m), according to US media outlets who cited the letter. The BBC has confirmed it had received a letter and said it will respond in due course.

Revealed: The devastating memo that plunged the BBC into crisis

The Telegraph has published the internal dossier that has plunged the BBC into crisis.

The document, written by former journalist Michael Prescott and sent to the BBC board, exposes a string of incidents that demonstrate serious apparent bias in the corporation’s reporting.

They include evidence that BBC Panorama “doctored” a speech by Donald Trump to make it wrongly appear as though he directly called for violence on the day that his supporters stormed the US Capitol.


Here you can read each part of the dossier in full:

CBS News BURIES DHS Statement, Plows Ahead With Report on ICE Arrest

The statement sought by CBS News and provided by the Department of Homeland Security completely undermined the report on a Chicago ICE arrest that ran on the Evening News. But the network ran the report nonetheless, burying the DHS’s statement at the end of the report.

The BBC has gone full Pravda in its war of lies against Trump

The Beeb’s wilful distortion of Trump’s comments on 6 January 2021 was a whole new low for modern journalism.

The BBC loves to pose as a warrior against ‘fake news’. Yet it now stands accused of pushing an entirely fake account of President Trump’s behaviour on 6 January 2021. That’s the day the Capitol building in Washington, DC was stormed by a rag-tag army of angry right-wingers convinced the election had been stolen from Trump. And last year the BBC showed footage of Trump telling the mob he would march with them to the Capitol and ‘fight like hell’. Only that never happened. The BBC made it up. It doctored the footage. This is beyond serious. These are Pravda levels of manipulation.

BBC faked Trump’s Jan 6 speech

‘The BBC “doctored” a Donald Trump speech by making him appear to encourage the Capitol Hill riot, according to an internal whistleblowing memo seen by The Telegraph.

A Panorama programme, broadcast a week before the US election, “completely misled” viewers by showing the president telling supporters he was going to walk to the Capitol with them to “fight like hell”, when in fact he said he would walk with them “to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard”.

DAVIES: What the media missed about our Pierre Poilievre interview

When a clip from our recent interview with Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre went viral, the coverage said more about Canada’s media culture than about the exchange itself. It revealed how quickly political discussions can be stripped of context and turned into outrage fodder, a symptom of a news cycle that rewards speed over substance, and also focuses on polarizing content over nuanced dialogue.

Tylenol is not recommended for those suffering TDS

Canada maintains Tylenol is safe for pregnant women despite US warning

Canadian health officials, for now at least, will not follow the lead of the United States in recommending pregnant women avoid using acetaminophen, more commonly known as Tylenol, after a study indicated it is a contributing factor in the autism epidemic.

According to officials from Health Canada in a September 23 statement, acetaminophen is safe for use for pain and fever during a woman’s pregnancy when used as indicated on the box/bottle.

Hey Mike Allen: ‘New’ Naturalization Requirement of Good Moral Character Began In 1790!

Axios co-founder Mike Allen appeared on Monday’s Morning Joe to tout the outlet’s article, “Trump’s identity project,” which begins [emphasis added]:

“Through immigration crackdowns and cultural purges, President Trump is wielding government power to enforce a more rigid, exclusionary definition of what it means to be American.”

The Media and a Mob in Cincinnati

When a mob violently attacked two people in downtown Cincinnati last week, video of the beat-down spread across social media. But not a single major television network covered the story. It didn’t fit the mainstream media’s narrative about racial violence in America. The victims were white, and as of Wednesday police had arrested six black suspects for their alleged roles in the public pummeling.

Today’s media seems to conflagrate over violence only when the perpetrator is white and the victim is black. Then the cameras roll, protests erupt, and hashtags fly. But when the races are reversed, the mainstream media buries the incident or ignores it entirely. The same is true of black-on-black violence.

Gaza Starvation Photos Tell a Thousand Lies

Hamas propaganda exploits seriously ill children, and Western media go along.

Over the weekend, I embedded with the Israel Defense Forces in Gaza, where I saw the enormous quantities of humanitarian aid the United Nations has been refusing to distribute. What struck me most were the thousands upon thousands of pounds of baby food, baking under the Middle Eastern sun—jar after jar of mashed carrots, pureed potatoes and fruit blends. This food could have gone to children like Mohammed al-Mutawaaq.

The Arrogant Media Are Not ‘Bringing Us Closer Together’

As the world of “public” broadcasting faces the rebuke of Congress rescinding its billion dollars, it spurs a broader thought about the arrogance of liberal journalists at national media outlets. They’re not simply arrogant. They sound remarkably insincere.

Start with a man named Michael Tribble, the chief content officer at WAMU, the NPR station in the nation’s capital. He sent out a fundraising email after the Senate rebuke, oozing to their liberal supporters: “You’re part of a community that believes facts matter, that context matters, and that journalism has the power to bring us closer together.”

New York Times admits migrant ‘conspiracy theory’ it scolded Donald Trump for is TRUE

Donald Trump has been vindicated after The New York Times accused him of pushing a false conspiracy theory about a migrant gang taking over a Colorado apartment building… only for the paper to now admit those same claims were true.

One article published last September scolded Trump for his ‘false’ claims that Aurora was overrun with Tren de Aragua goons.

But a recent investigation published by the esteemed paper now concedes the Denver suburb is indeed a hotspot for the Venezuelan gangsters.

Paramount will pay $16 million in settlement with Trump over doctored Kamala Harris ’60 Minutes’ interview

NEW YORK (AP) — In a case seen as a challenge to American free-speech principles, the press getting away with lying to American public in support of its extreme left wing agenda, Paramount has agreed to pay $16 million to settle a lawsuit by President Donald Trump over the editing of CBS’ “ 60 Minutes” interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris in October.

Paramount, which owns CBS, said the money will go to Trump’s future presidential library, not to the Republican president himself. It said the settlement did not involve an apology.
