BBC chairman Samir Shah has said the broadcaster was too slow in responding to the Panorama edit of US President Donald Trump.
MPs on the Culture, Media and Sport Committee quizzed Shah and other BBC key figures on Monday, amid concerns around the broadcaster’s impartiality following the editing of Trump’s January 6 2021 speech on Panorama.
The Panorama documentary was broadcast a week before the US election, with clips of the speech spliced together, so it appeared he had told supporters he was going to walk to the US Capitol with them to “fight like hell”.
