LONDON ¨C The BBC¡¯s boss and its head of news quit on Sunday following accusations of bias at the British broadcaster, including in the way it edited a speech by U.S. President Donald Trump.
The BBC had been under mounting pressure after an internal report by a former standards adviser was leaked to the Daily Telegraph newspaper which cited failings in its coverage of the Israel-Hamas war, transgender issues and a speech made by Trump.
Trump welcomed the departures, criticizing the two as ¡°very dishonest people¡± after the BBC¡¯s flagship Panorama program edited two parts of one of his speeches together so he appeared to be encouraging the Capitol Hill riots of January 2021.
