"We're going to walk down to the Capitol, and I'll be there with you. And we fight. We fight like hell, Trump is heard saying on the program. In reality, he said: We're going to walk down to the Capitol, and we're going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women. Trump, a moment later, added he wanted his supporters to peacefully and patriotically make their voices heard something that was left out of the 2024 special, titled Trump: A Second Chance?"
"An internal UK government report, which The Telegraph's story is based on, found the show completely misled viewers with its editing. Examining the charge that Trump had incited protesters to storm Capitol Hill, it turned out that Panorama had spliced together two clips from separate parts of his speech. This created the impression that Trump said something he did not and, in doing so, materially misled viewers, wrote Michael Prescott, a media advisor who led the report on BBC bias."
Panorama, the BBC's longest-running investigative series, altered the sequence of President Trump's 2021 speech in an October 2024 special, creating the impression he urged supporters to fight during the Jan. 6 Capitol events. The program presented lines suggesting a call to fight while omitting nearby remarks urging cheering for elected officials and asking supporters to "peacefully and patriotically make their voices heard." An internal UK government report led by Michael Prescott concluded the splicing materially misled viewers. Footage of men waving American flags was shown out of chronological order, producing a false causal impression.
