A longtime BBC anchor said the majority of board members who control the British broadcaster feel it has “a problem of institutional bias reflected in the coverage” of President Donald Trump<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The BBC has been engulfed in criticism over a BBC Panorama documentary about Trump\u2019s Jan. 6, 2021, speech that he delivered before the riot at the U.S. Capitol<\/a>.\u00a0Critics say the documentary was misleading because it omitted Trump urging supporters to protest peacefully, and the BBC director-general Tim Davie and BBC News and Current Affairs chief Deborah Turness both stepped down in recent days amid the growing controversy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s legal team sent a scathing notice of intent to bring a civil action lawsuit on Sunday to the BBC, demanding that “false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements” made about Trump must be retracted immediately or else he will file a $1 billion lawsuit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

TRUMP PUTS BBC ON NOTICE: RETRACT, APOLOGIZE FOR \u2018FALSE, DEFAMATORY\u2019 DOCUMENTARY OR FACE $1 BILLION LAWSUIT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

BBC anchor Nick Robinson offered his thoughts on the growing “crisis.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“What has happened … what is happening at the BBC? In normal times you might be forgiven for dismissing that question as naval gazing by journalists who can’t resist talking about themselves. In normal times I’d be inclined to agree with you. These, though, are not normal times,” Robinson wrote on X<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Those at the top of the BBC have appeared paralysed for the past week \u2014 unable to agree what to say not just about the editing of Donald Trump\u2019s speech by Panorama but also wider claims of institutional bias,” he continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Robinson said the “BBC is run by a board made up of the leaders of the major divisions of the corporation and part time directors appointed by the government of the day,” who don\u2019t align with news executives and journalists.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“BBC News executives \u2014 the journalists who run the News division \u2014 agreed [on] the wording of a statement at the beginning of last week, admitting that it had been a mistake to edit together two different sections of Donald Trump\u2019s speech on the day of the Capitol Hill riots without clearly signalling to the audience that the edit had been made. It would have concluded that despite this error there was \u2018no intention to mislead\u2019 the audience,” he wrote. “This was not enough for the BBC board, which refused to sign off the statement.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

BBC DIRECTOR-GENERAL AND UK NEWS CHIEF BOTH RESIGN OVER TRUMP SPEECH EDITING SCANDAL<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Pressure against BBC leaders intensified after The Telegraph published excerpts from a\u00a0whistleblower dossier<\/a>\u00a0compiled by Michael Prescott, a communications advisor hired by the BBC to review its editorial standards. The documents criticized some aspects of BBC coverage, including the Trump edit, and Robinson noted that it declared the documentary “created the impression that Trump said something he did not and, in doing so, materially misled viewers.”<\/p>\n

When Turness stepped down, she said the controversy over the Trump documentary “has reached a stage where it is causing damage to the BBC, an institution that I love.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Robinson wrote, “Neither she nor the outgoing Director General Tim Davie explained what they thought had gone wrong” in their exit announcements.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“A majority of the BBC Board appear to agree with their editorial adviser that there is a problem of institutional bias reflected in the coverage of Donald Trump, Gaza\/Israel and trans rights. That argument has been led by one board member Sir Robbie Gibb – a former BBC executive in charge of political programmes [sic] who became Prime Minister Theresa May\u2019s Downing Street Director of Communications and one of those involved in the founding of GB News.\u00a0Friends of Sir Robbie insist he has repeatedly and consistently supported Tim Davie and wanted him to stay and has written articles supporting the BBC and the licence [sic] fee,” Robinson wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The BBC did not immediately respond to a request for comment about Robinson\u2019s post. The network previously told Fox News Digital<\/a> it was reviewing Trump\u2019s legal threat.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A spokesman for President Trump\u2019s legal team provided the following statement to Fox News Digital: “The BBC defamed President Trump by intentionally and deceitfully editing its documentary in order to try and interfere in the Presidential Election. President Trump will continue to hold accountable those who traffic in lies, deception, and fake news.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital\u2019s Emma Bussey\u00a0contributed to this report.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
