The BBC’s director-general has stepped down from his role after the broadcaster was embroiled in a “fake news” storm when it was revealed that quotes from a Donald Trump speech were stitched together in a Panorama documentary.
Tim Davie resigned on Sunday over concerns raised in a report by former BBC editorial standards advisor Michael Prescott about how the US President’s words were stitched together despite being about separate topics and were spoken nearly an hour apart.
