  • This is The Guardian.

  • Today, why is Donald Trump threatening to sue the BBC for a billion dollars?

  • It was only a week ago that the Telegraph ran its first story about anti-Trump bias of the BBC.

  • It's yet another appalling example of BBC bias, this time involving Donald Trump.

  • Our reporter Gordon Rainer will reveal how the BBC doctored the US President's words ahead of the January 6th riots to make him look

  • like he started it all.

  • It didn't initially seem like a big deal.

  • The Telegraph has a long history of criticising the BBC.

  • And this just seemed like the latest instalment.

  • And yet as the week went on, the story gathered steam.

  • The BBC, which is funded by you, the public, by our tax,

  • presented manipulated footage as a fact to back its own left-wing agenda.

  • Absolutely shocking.

  • That is fake news.

  • You know,

  • actually putting different things together to try and make something look different from what it actually was.

  • And I do think heads should roll.

  • Till Tim Davy, director general,

  • comes out and either tries to explain what Panorama was up to or else resigns, I'm afraid folks,

  • I am going to be in the sad position of finally cancelling my license fee payment and I suggest you do the same.
