Right-wing political observers and analysts erupted on Sunday after an investigation by The Telegraph revealed the British Broadcasting Corporation edited a clip of President Donald Trump speaking ahead of the January 6 insurrection, and displayed other forms of "anti-Trump bias."
The investigation, which was published on November 3, revealed nine instances where the BBC either edited footage or displayed other forms of bias against the sitting U.S. president. In response to the investigation, BBC News CEO Deborah Turness and Director General Tim Davie resigned.
News of the resignations sent shockwaves through Trump's support base, many of whom turned to social media to share their thoughts.
"This is just straight-up propaganda," right-wing journalist Matt Goodwin posted on X. "BBC Verify should be shut down. It is an ideological indoctrination unit masquerading as an independent 'fact checker.'"
"The 'most trusted broadcaster' caught faking it," Fox News host Laura Ingraham posted on X. "@BBC bosses out after doctoring a Trump speech. @POTUS claims another victory against 'fake news' as boss and deputy at world's 'most trusted' broadcaster the BBC resign after network doctored Donald Trump speech."
"Fake news incarnate," entrepreneur Joe Gebbia posted on X. "BBC duped the world."
"GOOD RIDDANCE!" right-wing media personality Eric Daugherty posted on X. "The media is facing ACCOUNTABILITY."
"About time," GBN anchor Alex Armstrong posted on X.
"Most absurd psyop of all was Jan 6 'insurrection' narrative," right-wing media personality Chris Liss posted on X. "Can't believe how many r------ fell for it."
