Adam Carolla and Joe Rogan Blast BBC for ‘Cooking’ Trump Speech to Push False Narrative [WATCH]

Comedians Joe Rogan and Adam Carolla criticized the BBC during an episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” on Friday, focusing on an edit made to President Donald Trump’s January 6, 2021, speech in a recent installment of the network’s “Panorama” series.

The edit combined two separate lines from the speech delivered nearly an hour apart, creating the appearance that Trump had encouraged violence.

The BBC apologized to President Trump on Thursday for the edit but denied that the sequence met the standard for defamation.

Trump has demanded damages over the broadcast.

Rogan and Carolla argued on the podcast that the editing choice reflected bias and could not be dismissed as a simple mistake.

“They felt justified in editing something to make it look like he had a completely different sentence,” Rogan said.

Carolla said the edit undercut BBC’s denials of political bias.

“Well, the funny thing about it is whenever they confront the outgoing head who’s on the way out, they always go, ‘Yeah, we did this, but we’re not biased at all’ … it’s one or the other, bitch,” Carolla said.

“Yes, you are biased. And why did you do it? … By the way, you didn’t get the tape like this. You edited the tape like this. So that’s a calorie burner right there.”

The fallout from the broadcast led to resignations inside the BBC.

Director General Tim Davie and CEO of News Deborah Turness resigned on Sunday.

In her statement, Turness acknowledged that “mistakes have been made,” but she rejected allegations that the organization’s coverage reflected bias.

Rogan said the length of time between the two Trump remarks made the edit indefensible.

“It’s not a thing you could say you made a mistake when it’s literally 53, 54 minutes later he says the second part of the sentence,” Rogan said.

“That’s crazy.”

Carolla added that the edit damaged BBC’s credibility.

“Yeah. So you’re biased and you’re cooking it,” Carolla said.

“And that means we don’t need to listen to the BBC anymore.”

The edit in question combined Trump’s line, “We’re going to walk down to the Capitol,” with the later line, “We fight like hell.” In the full speech, Trump said, “We’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women.”
