President Donald Trump is suing the BBC after it was discovered that the network deceptively edited a documentary video to make it appear that he incited a riot on January 6. The BBC has apologized and says it will fight Trump's defamation lawsuit. What the BBC did is egregious and totally anti-journalistic. So, of course, CNN’s Brian Stelter is siding with the BBC.
Stelter says the edit is ‘outrageous.’ (WATCH)
The BBC is signaling it will fight, not fold, if Trump follows through and sues over the outrageous edit in an October 2024 documentary. pic.twitter.com/iJAS4h2LS6

Brian’s purported job is to report on the media.

Brian’s actual job is to defend the media’s deceptions.
If Stelter is defending a media outlet, it’s a sure sign to never trust it.
The BBC says it didn’t intend to mislead, which means it’s claiming the deceptive clip in the video just magically edited itself into place. Sure, BBC.

Other than the intentionally misleading edit which was designed to mislead the public I guess
I can't think of an activity that requires intentionality more than editing. That it was edited by a group and then given the OK to broadcast, it is absurd to suggest they intended the audience to believe that those words were said an hour apart

Why Was The Clip Edited !!
Why Not Play It Like It Was Recorded In Real Time
Why Did 2 Person Resign Then !!
All Great Questions
BBC's International Programs, Like The BBC Media Action, Have Received Funding From US Government Agencies
If Still The Case, Cut It.
Absolutely!! Bottom line: THEY EDITED IT TO A LIE!!

They want us to believe someone tripped and accidentally inserted the video into the perfect spot to push the fake incitement narrative, or that the documentary somehow self-edited itself.
To believe this, one would have to be gullible, stupid, or dishonest. Paging Brian Stelter!
Remarkable, the mental gymnastics one has to do to believe that the BBC did not realize that their misleading product was misleading.

“we intentionally created a misleading edit that intentionally misled people but we totally weren’t trying to mislead people"

Their defense is also intentionally misleading.

It’s misleadings, all the way down.
The intention was to convince the public and not get caught misleading the public.

Stetler misread that. I fixed it for him.
So Stelter can believe and push the magic, self-editing, oopsie-doodle theory, or he can be honest with himself and us by calling out the BBC for purposely misleading the public. We already know where Stelter will stand.
