So how does the "selective editing" change the summation of the speech and subsequent actions of the mob? Did the Telegraph note how LONG it took for Dump to go on the airwaves to call for the mob to disperse (and a weird call at that)? And once again, Dippy: Why do you have such a hard on for right wing politics in America, you being an ex-pat in Thailand and all?
Anyway, here's the full speech unedited:

Fuck off, the doctored tape produced by the BBC regarding J6, Israel and left wing agitprop disguised as news.

The BBC's selective editing of Donald Trump's January 6, 2021, speech, as revealed in a leaked internal memo in early November 2025, involved splicing together non-consecutive segments from the over-hour-long address to create a misleading narrative.
Specifically, in the October 2024 episode of its investigative program Panorama titled Trump: A Second Chance?, producers combined an early clip where Trump said, "We're going to walk down to the Capitol, and we're going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women," with a much later reference to "fight like hell" (from a section decrying election corruption).
This edit implied a direct call to violent action at the Capitol, omitting the intervening call for supporters to "peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard."
, the program paired this fabricated soundbite with footage of marchers (including Proud Boys) that was actually filmed before the speech, falsely suggesting an immediate, incited response from the crowd.
This manipulation reinforced a dominant media and political framing of the speech as a clear incitement to the Capitol riot that followed hours later, where hundreds of Trump supporters breached the building during the certification of Joe Biden's election victory.
By presenting the edited clip as seamless—without disclosure—it amplified perceptions that Trump's rhetoric was a deliberate "call to arms," aligning with narratives from the January 6 congressional committee, which concluded he bore responsibility for the unrest (though he faced no federal incitement charges).
The timing, just a week before the 2024 U.S. presidential election, heightened its potential to sway undecided voters and international audiences toward viewing Trump as a direct architect of political violence, potentially contributing to last-minute shifts in sentiment amid a polarized race.
Public reaction, particularly after the memo's exposure by The Telegraph, was swift and polarized, eroding trust in the BBC and broader mainstream media.
In the UK, the backlash prompted parliamentary intervention: the Culture, Media and Sport Committee demanded answers from BBC Chairman Samir Shah, citing "serious questions" on editorial standards and internal handling of complaints.
Whistleblower Michael Prescott, a former BBC standards adviser who authored the 19-page dossier, expressed "despair" over executives' refusal to acknowledge breaches, amplifying calls for accountability.
Overall, the editing deepened existing divides on January 6's legacy, while accelerating global distrust in legacy journalism. It fueled narratives of institutional bias, with analysts noting how such "slick" manipulations (undetectable without close scrutiny) exacerbate misinformation in a fragmented media landscape, where short clips on platforms like X or TikTok can virally cement altered perceptions.
