The BBC's deceptive editing of Trump's Jan. 6 speech proves these corrupt foreign journalists deliberately tried to interfere in American democracy. This scandal exposes the broadcaster's dishonest agenda and signifies their last chance before massive license fee boycotts destroy them. Only wholesale leadership change from proven private sector turnaround experts can save this failing institution.

There's a 3% chance that the U.S. will enter a second civil war before 2031, according to the Metaculus prediction community.

The BBC's deceptive editing of Trump's Jan. 6 speech proves these corrupt foreign journalists deliberately tried to interfere in American democracy. This scandal exposes the broadcaster's dishonest agenda and signifies their last chance before massive license fee boycotts destroy them. Only wholesale leadership change from proven private sector turnaround experts can save this failing institution.

BBC leaders took full accountability for editorial mistakes while defending the organization's overall integrity and gold standard journalism. The resignations demonstrate proper leadership responsibility, not institutional bias, as the BBC continues delivering trusted news essential to democratic life. This transition offers an opportunity for positive reform ahead of the crucial Charter renewal process.
