    I hate Trump as much as anyone but is there an unedited video to see if this is BBC actually misled the populace on the speech or if trump just threatened and the BBC just capitulated?

      There were some fair points, but I didn’t find their overall arguments convincing. Neutral reporting (and not getting overly hanged up on the polemics of a given side) is important, but facts are also important.

      I did find the overall arguments around the critique of BBC Arabic’s approach to Hamas more convincing even though I didn’t agree with everything they said (note, I haven’t actually ever seen BBC Arabic as I don’t speak Arabic).
