Watch the Trump edit that BBC bosses resigned over #breakingnews #trumpnews #news The director general of the BBC announced his resignation Sunday following a row over the editing of a documentary about Donald Trump as the US president attacked "corrupt journalists". Tim Davie and the broadcaster's head of news, Deborah Turness, resigned after accusations that a documentary by its flagship Panorama programme had edited a speech by Trump in a misleading way. Reacting to the news, Trump said "corrupt journalists" had been exposed, adding "these are very dishonest people who tried to step on the scales of a Presidential Election". Announcing his resignation Davie said in a statement posted on the BBC website: "Like all public organisations, the BBC is not perfect, and we must always be open, transparent and accountable. "While not being the only reason, the current debate around BBC News has understandably contributed to my decision... I have to take ultimate responsibility." The latest controversy follows a Daily Telegraph report this week that said concerns were first raised in the summer in a memo on impartiality by Michael Prescott, a former external adviser to the BBC's editorial standards committee. ---- Connect With news.com.au Online ► [https://www.news.com.au] https://bit.ly/3WC8hOP ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Follow Us: Facebook ► [https://www.facebook.com/news.com.au/] Instagram ► [https://www.instagram.com/newscomauhq/?hl=en] Podcast ► [https://newscomau.org/FromTheNewsroom] TikTok ► [@news.com.au] Twitter ► [https://twitter.com/newscomauHQ] ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Subscribe To Our YouTube Channel For The Very Latest News From Australia And Around The World: ► [https://www.youtube.com/@newscomauhq] ► [https://www.youtube.com/@newscomauhq/shorts] ► [https://www.youtube.com/@newscomauhq/videos] ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
