On November 11, the BBC once again apologized for the editing incident. Trump threatened to sue for $1 billion. Rubio wrote: "The resignation and public apology of BBC executives is just a step in the right direction, but it is far from enough. The BBC's editing is false, defamatory, malicious, and highly inciting. These statements have been widely spread through various digital media, reaching hundreds of millions of people globally, causing great economic and reputational damage to Trump. Appropriate compensation is entirely justified!"
[Witty] Friendship's little boat can capsize at any moment. The BBC's 'magic' editing has backfired, fake news worth $1 billion? This move is a win-win! The BBC's operation is a top-tier example of fabricated editing — seamlessly splicing together a speech that was 54 minutes apart, creating a dramatic scene of inciting unrest. No wonder it's the skill of an old media house; they've used it on other countries, especially China and Russia, many times before! Now, with the resignation of senior executives and a second apology, they are left speechless by Trump's $1 billion lawsuit and Rubio's consecutive criticisms. Where is the so-called objectivity and fairness? It's clearly unscrupulous fabrication for the sake of clicks. They've cut up their journalistic ethics into confetti!
The most ironic part is that instead of smearing Trump, this attempt ended up giving him a boost in the election, and also caused some tension in the US-UK alliance. What kind of news report is this? It's a baffling behavior that's essentially paying the opponent to promote them. It's recommended that the BBC calculate the cost before fabricating news next time: how many fake news stories could be made with $1 billion in compensation?
