The BBC has been caught in a bombshell scandal — accused of doctoring President Donald Trump’s speech to make it look like he was calling for violence. According to The Telegraph, editors at Britain’s taxpayer-funded network intentionally spliced together separate clips to frame Trump during the January 6 Capitol events.
BBC’s Shocking Manipulation Exposed
The alleged deception came from Panorama—the BBC’s longest-running “investigative” series—during an October 2024 special titled Trump: A Second Chance?
Producers aired a version of Trump’s 2021 address that falsely made it seem like he was urging supporters to “fight.”
“We’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and I’ll be there with you. And we fight. We fight like hell,” the broadcast claimed.
But here’s the truth — what Trump actually said was completely different:
“We’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women.”
Moments later, Trump added that his supporters should “peacefully and patriotically make their voices heard.” Those vital words were edited out of the BBC’s version.

Government Report Confirms Misleading Edit
A British government inquiry determined that the program “materially misled viewers” and gave a false impression of Trump’s intent. Media advisor Michael Prescott, who led the probe, stated:
“Examining the charge that Trump incited violence, it turned out Panorama spliced two clips from separate moments in his speech. This created the impression Trump said something he did not.”
The report also revealed that the BBC aired footage of flag-waving men immediately after Trump’s supposed “call to arms.” But the video was filmed before Trump even began speaking—further proof of deliberate manipulation.
Who Was Behind It?
The documentary was produced by Matthew Hill and edited by Karen Wightman, a longtime BBC veteran accused of political bias in the past. Wightman has worked on Panorama since 2002 and has faced criticism for editing stories to fit left-wing narratives.
Trump’s Response: “They Always Get Caught”
The explosive revelations came just one day after President Trump’s high-profile interview on “60 Minutes.” During that appearance, Trump praised CBS’s new leadership under Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison and journalist Bari Weiss, calling their arrival a “turning point” in restoring media integrity.
Trump also reminded viewers that Paramount paid him a “lotta money” to settle a lawsuit over 60 Minutes editing a past interview with Kamala Harris. “They always get caught,” Trump said, calling the BBC scandal “just the latest example of fake news trying — and failing — to rewrite history.”
Media Bias Backfires — Again
The BBC scandal has reignited debate over media honesty and global censorship. Critics say the network’s blatant editing proves that mainstream outlets will stop at nothing to attack Trump and mislead the public.
For millions of conservative Americans, this revelation confirms what they’ve long suspected: the media isn’t just biased — it’s actively working against the truth.
Bottom Line:
President Trump’s message of peaceful protest was twisted into a “call to violence” by one of the world’s biggest media outlets — and now they’ve been caught red-handed.
