'It's propaganda!' Ex-BBC star tears into broadcaster's second doctoring of Donald Trump speech - 'We can't trust them'

Amid the BBC's looming billion dollar lawsuit threat from the US President, The Telegraph has exposed a second doctoring of the historic January 6 Capitol speech by Mr Trump, broadcast on an episode of Newsnight.

Detailing the exposé, Associate Editor Camilla Tominey told GB News that whistleblower David Chaudoir claimed concerns about the episode in question were "ignored", despite the edit being criticised live on-air by former United States representative Mike Mulvaney.

Delivering her verdict on the latest revelations, Ms Sergeant told GB News host Martin Daubney: "It doesn't surprise me at all. We've seen over and over again, whether it's on trans rights, whether it's on Hamas, immigration, that the BBC believes that its primary duty is to be activists.

"It's no longer impartial and what really worries me is what happens when the next sort of fashionable ideology comes along."

She added: "The BBC, once again, we can't trust them that they will be impartial in the future, that once again they will be dangerously un-impartial.

"And that they will be, as we've seen with antisemitism, very dangerous, that they will be pushing something on us that we can't stop, we can't find the truth out about, and that really horrifies me."

Reacting to the footage of the edit featured on Newsnight, Martin pointed out to Ms Sergeant: "As you can see there Harriet, it clearly trims out pertinent information. It trims out context.

"It doesn't trim out quite as much as the other edit, the one that went out on Panorama, but it still removes context. It's still doctoring the original footage to make a completely separate point."

She responded: "Well, this is propaganda. The BBC have created propaganda there."

Comparing the BBC to Soviet Russia, Ms Sergeant added: "You have to remember, the BBC and the USSR were both founded in 1922, and Russia's fallen, the Soviet Union's gone, but the BBC is still is at it.

"It's still changing, wrenching reality around to fit its activist narrative. This is dangerous."

She concluded: "We've seen now it's not enough just to have a few top people resign. This is something that is fundamental to the BBC to be to the majority it appears, of BBC staff."

A spokesman for Mr Trump's legal team told GB News: "It is now clear that BBC engaged in a pattern of defamation against President Trump by intentionally and deceitfully editing his historic speech in order to try and interfere in the Presidential Election.

"President Trump will continue to hold accountable those who traffic in lies, deception, and fake news."

A BBC spokesperson said: "The BBC holds itself to the highest editorial standards. This matter has been brought to our attention and we are now looking into it."
