It sure did!!🙄🙄🙄🙄

Free impartial press eh ☹️

This is no 'mistake' !!

inmydumpster

FactCheckTories It certainly did, but does so every day BBCWorld BBCPolitics BBCBias

'Mistake'

On whose instructions was the mistake made?

BBC was actually one the first propaganda machines, so it is quite meaningless when they say a ‘mistake’ sorry not buying it. The thing is they are too involved in politics, and it’s outcomes to benefit the company. Free tv license Company will be dead!

The BBC a bunch of little innocents? 😂 Do me a favour!

digitalarmyuk Gosh the BBC tells lies on behalf of the Tory party, who’d have thought it.

The worst crime in modern times is getting caught so hold your hands up apologise and don't make up excuses you know what you did

GetBrexitGone torymaths ToriesOut nickymorgan BorisJohnsonLies NHSCrisis BBCBias

Bateson So someone searching the archives for a better news report on Johnson at the Cenotaph was a mistake!!!!

Can we complain about this via Ofcom? Considering this keeps happening..

Again 🙄

You don’t edit out laughing by mistake. End of. BBCBias GeneralElection2019

A ‘mistake’ would be any other sound clip, of anything else. Or no sound at all. Removing the laughter and inserting a sentence is deliberate. BBC is corrupt.

It wasn’t a mistake, it was deliberate.

A deliberate mistake by the BBC.....they make too many of them for their pathetic excuses to wash. That horse has bolted .....

Would they have edited audience laughter off Corbyn’s footage I wonder. Doesn’t seem fair.

I stopped watching the BBC some time ago. Some of what they do is ok, but their political coverage is off.

There may have been no intention to deceive but it did. What is missing from the BBC statement is words to the effect that 'we are sorry that we gave this mistaken impression and will work hard not to do so again'.

“Not another one” said Brenda.

This was no way a mistake this is the BBC trying to rig the election through fraud!

Did bbcquestiontime also ‘make a mistake’ when they only invited two LibDem supporters to attend last week’s Question Time Debate, or was that intentional bias? bbcbias

This is a common theme... edit, misrepresent, etc to get the headline or to plant a seed of doubt... then weeks later apologise... the BBC is and has always been working for the Tory’s and their corporate paymasters

It seems the BBC is copying Soviet/Russian techniques

BBC - Boris Broadcasting Corporation.

catherinemginn As usual, this is a sticking plaster on a gaping wound: damage already done, BBCBreaking

BBC are still lying 🤥

A most inappropriate 'mistake'; who is the culprit here?

A ‘mistake’ only because there was an unedited version of the clip. Welcome to the Information Age.

😁🤣🤣🤣🤣

Whoops! You're not even very good at your deliberate manipulations in favour of the CONservatives. The fact that, whilst quickly rebuked by JC, audience Lab manifesto launch booed your political editor LK should tell you a lot about public opinion on your balanced approach.

Nikephorius Their mistake was getting caught. They are caught every day now but nothing changes, or will change until the Union is gone.

BBCNews does that mean you will correct footage now

They have now done this twice rememberence day and here biased. Makes Fox News look like CH4.

MikeH_PR again,everyone knows the bbc news is corrupt and pro brexit and covers up major stories like russia and invite the brexit gang on all the time like oakshot,farage etc

BBC in tory bais shocker! Said no one ever.

Nice. Last one, eh?

are people complaining about bias on the post of a bias leftie 'news' source?

It's not a mistake, it's deliberate. They can claim it was an error of judgement, in which case they should be held to account. But it certainly wasn't a mistake - it wasn't doctored in error!

Mad how all these mistakes keep benefiting the tories

Now it needs to give the correction and a grovelling apology with the same amount of air time.

Another one?

Mmmm....Strange how all the mistakes and stuff going wrong seem to benefit mainly the Tories and Boris Johnson! I guess the BBC has no agenda, except, obviously, to ensure promotion and positive exposure for right wing leaders!

Same actors appearing again and again on Question Time and asking loaded questions of political opponents of the Tory party, the Scot Indy vote footage they accidentally edited so it made it look like indy supporters were attacking unionists when it was the other way around.

A 'mistake'..but of course....er...

Mistake 😂😂😂😂

BBC has had their day. Their day of misleading and misdirecting.

Another one

Shameful! How do the bbc expect to be trusted when this seems to keep happening!

Which time? Is the the BBC admitting to a 'mistake' when it saved Johnson's blushes at the Cenotaph? Is the BBC admitting to a 'mistake' when it cut Johnson being laughed at by a studio audience? Is the BBC admitting to a 'mistake' from tomorrow's embarrassment in advance?

These 'mistakes' seem to be rather frequent lately.

It seems to be making quite a few of these 'mistakes' recently, and they're all pro-tory. Hmm......

It is so obvious that the BBC has a bias towards Johnson and the Tories. What happened to fair, honest balanced reporting?

don't tell me jennifer gave it you ..Awh arranged between friends tbf
