I suspect he is trying to get the widespread "misinformation" about him under some control. I would like it if there were laws to prevent outright lying about politicians and programs they support, but it will never occur. Libel and slander laws do not enter the realm of politics.

I saw the bbc's edited version up against what was really said and it war horrible. Trump was yelling to go to the capital and FIGHT. That actually would have proven that he caused any rioting etc that could have happened.

I guess the BBC did the same as CBS when they edited Harris' response to a question and what the CBC did to Reagan's speech. Looking more and more like Newspeak in Orwell's 1984.

The BBC are very left wing.

Any government-sponsored broadcasting is bias in favor of whatever the government stands for historically. Most of the mainstream media are biased to the Left in developed nations, even on the private side because the Left has taken over the education systems in those countries. A similar purge took place in Twitter/X, and is now taking place in CBS News in the U.S.
