It looks likes the BBC had a documentary where they put two parts of Trump's Jan 6 part together which made it look like an incitement to violence,
Trump threatens $1bn lawsuit against BBC - what you need to knowpublished at 12:36

Here's the latest:(This is now old)
The BBC could be facing a $1bn (£760m) lawsuit after lawyers for US President Donald Trump sent a letter to the orgnisation saying they would take legal action if it does not issue a "full and fair" retraction of a Panorama documentary
~Lawyers have also asked for an apology and compensation for the president
~ The documentary, aired in October 2024, stitched together two different parts of Trump's speech made on 6 January and made it look like a single continuous section
~In Florida, where the letter says the suit would be filed, an aggrieved party has two years to bring a case - which would fit the timeline, our home and legal correspondent Dominic Casciani writes
~This follows the resignations last night of BBC director general Tim Davie and CEO of news Deborah Turness after a leaked memo criticised the edits, among other aspects of the BBC's coverage
~BBC chair Samir Shah has since apologised for the "error of judgement" but said the organisation has taken measures to tackle the problems

We have now seen the letter Donald Trump's lawyers sent to the BBC and can bring you more details.
The letter sets out three demands, including:
Immediately issue a full and fair retraction of the documentary and any and all other false, defamatory, disparaging, misleading, and inflammatory statements about President Trump in as conspicuous a manner as they were originally published
Immediately issue an apology for the false, defamatory, disparaging, misleading, and inflammatory statements about President Trump
Appropriately compensate President Trump for the harm caused
"If the BBC does not comply with the above by November 14, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. EST, President Trump will be left with no alternative but to enforce his legal and equitable rights, all of which are expressly reserved and are not waived, including by filing legal action for no less than $1,000,000,000 (One Billion Dollars) in damages," the letter concludes.
We’ll bring you more shortly. Stay with us.

It looks like the BBC is willing to kowtow to tyrants.
They're the party of the Royals. What do you expect. They were almost giddy during the run-up to King Chuck's coronation (we were on a cruise, and BBC is one of the channels available in the cabins). But if you read other sources, a lot of folks consider the Royals an anachronism, and would rather abolish it. I think it was something like 30% were in favor of getting rid of them (from memory). A minority, but not at all reflected in the coverage by the BBC.
So, of course they bow to King Felon.

Anyone else familiar with Sinnerian behavior mod?
His nibs sues everyone who covers him, except Fox Noise. So, the media should put him on extinction: deny him the attention and publicity he wants.
from the net sifter:
In B.F. Skinner's operant conditioning, extinction is the process of weakening and eliminating a behavior by consistently withdrawing the reinforcement that was maintaining it. This is a form of behavior modification where, for example, a previously rewarded behavior will eventually stop occurring if the reward is no longer provided. Key aspects include the potential for an initial "extinction burst," a temporary increase in the behavior's intensity, and the need for consistent application to be effective
