Public Reaction and BBC Reputation

On Sunday, the BBC’s Director General Tim Davie and Chief Executive of News Deborah Turness both resigned after they were accused of misleading viewers by editing a speech by US President Donald Trump in a Panorama documentary.

Mr. Trump has welcomed the resignations and threatened to sue the broadcasting company if it does not "immediately retract" the programme.

Joe O’Shea and Elaine Burke joined Matt on Monday’s The Last Word.
