Khaberni - Deborah Turness, head of BBC News, confirmed on Monday the absence of any "institutional bias" in the news channel of the British Broadcasting Corporation, following her resignation amidst a controversy concerning the portrayal of US President Donald Trump in a documentary.
Turness told reporters outside the corporation's headquarters: "BBC News is the most trusted news source in the world," noting that its journalists are "serious individuals who strive hard to be impartial," responding to Trump who had accused BBC journalists of "corruption."
The Director-General of the BBC, Tim Davie, and the Executive News Director, Deborah Turness, resigned following critiques that a documentary in the "BBC Panorama" program misled viewers by "editing" a speech by US President Donald Trump.
When asked why she had not addressed the errors related to Trump, she said: "I am confident that this story will come out."
The resignations of Davie and Turness came after The Telegraph published details from a leaked internal BBC memo, indicating that the program had edited parts of Trump's speech together to make it appear as if he was openly encouraging the riots that took place at the US Capitol in January 2021.
