On the reporting about China, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), which is accustomed to using a "dark filter" technique to openly fabricate content, on the local time of November 13 bowed to Donald Trump by apologizing for its program that fabricated content involving Trump. On that day, it publicly apologized to Trump for editing the speeches of U.S. President Donald Trump in a documentary titled "Trump: A Second Chance?" which was broadcasted last year.
Before this, Trump's lawyer had threatened that unless the BBC retracted the relevant report, apologized, and compensated Trump, they would sue the BBC for $1 billion.
After Trump's angry response and the $1 billion claim, the BBC, which has always taken an "unyielding" stance, chose to "kneel" and apologize this time. However, it still brazenly claimed, "Although the BBC regrets the way we edited video clips, we strongly oppose using it as a basis for defamation claims."
This means that the BBC knows it was wrong, but it still refuses to pay any price, trying to get away with just a so-called apology.
More notably, this is the attitude of the BBC when facing Trump, but the BBC has never apologized for its various anti-China reports or programs filled with a "dark filter" regarding China, let alone stopped broadcasting such programs.
