'we did it unintentionally....' twice!
The BBC is now lying about lying.
Wait... unintentionally??????
"We made 2 identical mistakes and ignored both"
If they claim that there was nothing wrong why did two heads of department resign?
When they say “we regret” it has more of a connotation of “we regret YOU feel that way!”
If the edit was a mistake, was the ominous music that had been intentionally added to the clip to convey a sense of doom and dread also a mistake? cc Trump's Lawyers
Apology is much cheaper than compensation.
The irony of the BBC reporting on themselves 😂
Is this really an apology?
