Two top BBC executives—Director General Tim Davie and News CEO Deborah Turness—resigned over a controversy involving edited clips from a Panorama documentary about Donald Trump's speech on January 6, 2021, related to the US Capitol riot. The BBC was accused of misleadingly editing the speech, stitching together remarks that were originally more than 50 minutes apart, which gave the impression that Trump directly called for violent action at the Capitol. This sparked widespread criticism, legal threats from Trump, and accusations of editorial bias, leading to the resignations and a formal apology from the BBC for the error in judgment.
