Pleas lean into the topic, OP. We're gonna need an opinion. Really frame the discussion.
This, if the dossier being passed around Whitehall is correct, is a bombshell. If it happened to another problem it would blow over; however, the BBC, apparently, did it to Trump. Not sure what the recourse would be in British courts; however, here in the U.S. BBC could expect at a minimum a protracted law suit and potentially huge payout.
I look forward to future developments.

The BBC is facing a major storm after an explosive whistleblower memo accused the broadcaster of editing a Donald Trump speech in a way that made him appear to egg on the Capitol Hill riot. According to the 19-page dossier compiled by a former member of the BBC's own standards committee and now reportedly circulating through Whitehall, a Panorama episode aired just days before the 2024 US election "completely misled" viewers about what the former president actually said.
The programme, Trump: A Second Chance?, showed Mr Trump declaring he would march with supporters to the Capitol to "fight like hell". However, the memo claims that the film spliced together two separate parts of his speech, an hour apart, and omitted the section where he urged crowds to "peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard".
The document brands the edit "mangled", accusing the flagship BBC investigation of making the former president "say things he never actually said" and presenting dramatic footage of flag-waving protesters marching on the Capitol as if it were the direct result of his words. In reality, the scenes were reportedly filmed before Mr Trump even took the stage.
According to The Telegraph the dossier also alleges that senior BBC chiefs brushed off serious complaints raised internally about the broadcast....
