BBC Files Motion To Dismiss Trump’s Billionaire Lawsuit for the Deceptive Editing of His J6 Speech
The ‘Beeb’ is up to their shenanigans again.
The British Broadcasting Company (BBC) has been under a lot of pressure for their biased reporting – but it seems that they haven’t learned their lesson.
The BBC will file a motion to dismiss Donald J. Trump’s lawsuit over the misleading editing of his 6 January 2021 speech, falsely suggesting that he called for violence.
BBC reported in their famously ‘unbiased’ way:
“The US president filed a $5bn (£3.7bn) lawsuit in a Florida court last month, accusing the BBC of defamation and of violating a trade practices law.
Court papers filed on Monday show the broadcaster will argue the Florida court lacks ‘personal jurisdiction’ over the BBC, the court venue is ‘improper’ and that Trump has ‘failed to state a claim’.”
The BBC did apologize to Trump over the edit, while rejecting demands for compensation, and denying that there was any basis for a defamation claim.
“The corporation will also argue that Panorama program was not aired in the US and did not defame the US president.
It will also assert that the president has not demonstrated that the documentary caused any actual damage to him, noting that he was re-elected after the program aired and carried Florida with a commanding majority.”
The ‘Beeb’ argues that the clip ‘is some 15 seconds of an hour-long program’, calling its coverage ‘balanced’.
They will also ask the court to stop discovery until their appeal is ruled upon.
