✍️ The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has written to the BBC over a Panorama episode that edited a 2021 speech by US President Donald Trump, sparking concerns over potential FCC regulations.
👉 The FCC is investigating whether the BBC provided the edited speech to any broadcaster regulated by the FCC for airing in the US. 👉 The BBC has apologized for the edit, which gave the impression that Trump had called for violent action. 👉 Trump has threatened to sue the BBC over the program, saying it defamed him. 👉 The BBC has refused to pay compensation to Trump. 👉 The FCC has a legal obligation to operate in the public interest, including prohibitions on news distortion and broadcast hoax.
