BBC Director-General Resigns Amid Backlash Over Edited Trump Speech
The head of the BBC and the British broadcaster's top news executive both resigned Sunday after criticism of the way the organization edited a speech by US President Donald Trump.
The BBC said Director-General Tim Davie and news CEO Deborah Turness had both decided to leave the corporation.
Britain's publicly funded national broadcaster has been criticized for editing a speech Trump made on Jan. 6, 2021, before protesters attacked the Capitol in Washington.
