The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) apologized to another politician for “incorrectly” quoting him on Thursday – the same week it apologized to President Donald Trump, who is seeking damages from the media organization for distorting one of his own quotes.
The BBC deleted a social media post and apologized to independent MP Rupert Lowe after it “incorrectly” quoted one of his speeches in Parliament.
“This post corrects an earlier post, which incorrectly quoted Rupert Lowe,” the BBC declared. “This correction supersedes a previous clarification. We apologise to Mr Lowe for the error.”
In his own statement, Lowe wrote, “With today’s BBC apology to me, impressively that’s now three apologies/corrections over their disgraceful coverage of me in just four months. Three times they’ve had to admit they got it wrong. Always, curiously, in the same direction.”
“Let’s see what Trump can extract from them – I wish him well. I hope he goes for a billion,” Lowe continued. “The BBC isn’t just biased. It’s institutionally biased. Seeped in an ideology that despises traditional Britain.”
He concluded, “The answer is simple: Defund it. End the licence fee. If that means the BBC can’t survive, then so be it. Remove the crutch. Let’s see how it gets on. I don’t care anymore. I have one word for the BBC. DEFUND.”
The BBC issued its apology just one day after Lowe called the UK state media company a “national disgrace” for posting “an entirely false quote.”
This week, the BBC also issued an apology to Trump over an “error of judgement” in an edit of his January 6, 2021 remarks which resulted in the president threatening to sue the company for $1 billion.
“We accept that our edit unintentionally created the impression that we were showing a single continuous section of the speech, rather than excerpts from different points in the speech, and that this gave the mistaken impression that President Trump had made a direct call for violent action,” said the BBC in its correction notice. “The BBC would like to apologise to President Trump for that error of judgement.”
BBC Director General Tim Davie and News chief Deborah Turness resigned from the company in the wake of Trump’s complaint.
