BBC Director General Tim Davie and News and Current Affairs leader Deborah Turness have resigned after a leaked internal review acknowledged serious bias in the broadcaster's coverage. The review cited an edited documentary clip of Donald Trump and a Gaza war documentary that failed to disclose key information, leading to allegations of systemic bias.

Davie accepted responsibility for the mistakes and acknowledged the gravity of the allegations, while Turness denied claims of institutional bias in her departure statement. The resignations follow mounting scrutiny over the BBC's editorial standards and transparency.

Justo antes de las últimas elecciones presidenciales de EE.UU. la BBC emitió este documental con un clip editado de Donald Trump dirigiéndose a sus partidarios antes del asalto al Capitolio en 2021. Vamos a caminar hasta el Capitolio y estaré allí contigo y lucharemos, lucharemos como el infierno y si no luchas como el infierno ya no tendrás un país. Sólo que Trump en realidad no dijo esas palabras de esa manera. Dijo vamos a caminar hasta el Capitolio y vamos a animar a nuestros valientes senadores y congresistas. La sección de lucha como el infierno vino de una parte diferente del discurso 50 minutos más tarde. El martes, el diario Telegraph publicó una filtración de una revisión interna de la BBC que reconocía que la edición distorsionó los acontecimientos del día y representaba un grave sesgo. El domingo por la noche tanto el jefe de la BBC Tim Davie y la jefa de la división de noticias y actualidad Deborah Turness dimitieron. Se han cometido algunos errores y como director general tengo que asumir la responsabilidad última, dijo Davie en un comunicado. Se han hecho una serie de acusaciones muy graves el más grave de los cuales es que hay sesgo sistémico en la forma en que se informa de los temas difíciles en la BBC. En febrero, la BBC emitió y luego sondeó un documental en el que aparecía un adolescente intentando sobrevivir a la guerra de Gaza que resultó ser el hijo de un oficial de Hamas que la emisora no dijo inicialmente. Un error que la BBC no puede permitirse cometer dice este antiguo jefe de su división de noticias. La BBC tiene muchos enemigos ahí fuera. Ahora que pasa eso quiero decir que la BBC tiene que vivir con eso. Lo que tiene que hacer es ser lo mejor posible. En su declaración de salida, Deborah Turness respondió diciendo que aunque se cometieron errores la acusación de que la BBC es institucionalmente parcial es errónea. Chris Brown, CBC News, Londres.
