I just watched the controversy around the BBC documentary that edited President Trump’s January 6 speech to make it look like he directly incited violence. The spliced version combined two moments nearly an hour apart, omitted his calls for peaceful protest, and turned a documented speech into a misleading montage. In this reaction, I’ll break down what the BBC actually did wrong, why this matters for democracy and media trust, and why I stand with Trump when he asks for peaceful, patriotic protest.

In this video I cover:

The original speech context: Trump asking for a march to the Capitol—but also emphasising peaceful demonstration—and how the BBC omitted that.

Why I’m critical of the BBC: Mis-editing to imply violence is not journalism—it’s propaganda. The resignations, leak of internal memos, and lofty lawsuit demands underscore the scale of the failure.

When a respected broadcaster like the BBC edits a political speech in a way that shifts the meaning—from “cheer our Senators” and “peaceful protest” to “fight like hell”—the consequences are serious: public trust, democratic dialogue, even election integrity are at stake.

Trump’s lawyers claim the edit was so misleading it amounted to defamation. That’s not just media critique—it’s legal territory.

The documentable edits put two speech fragments that were ~54 minutes apart into one quote. That’s not sloppy editing—that’s deliberate narrative shaping. They omitted key phrases—like “peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard”—which undercut the original meaning.

The fact this was discovered via a leaked memo, and that senior executives resigned, suggests institutional failure—not just a one-time mistake. For journalism to function in a democracy, trust and accuracy matter. Misleading editing is a betrayal of that role.

Regardless of one’s view on January 6, asking supporters to demonstrate lawfully and patriotically is consistent with democratic norms. The edited version omitted that angle. Trump’s emphasis on “peacefully and patriotically” is part of the record—not conveniently omitted. Proper context is critical. If the media misrepresents that message, not only does it mislead the public—it delegitimises genuine calls for lawful protest.

The BBC’s editing of Trump’s speech is a huge red flag for journalism and public discourse. Mistakes happen—but when they shape political reality, the stakes are high. Trump’s call for peaceful protest should not be lost in the shuffle of narrative manipulation.
