Someone needs to edit that Doctor episode "Turn Left" about the consequences of Donna never meeting the tenth Doctor. He dies, isn't around to stop the space Titanic crashing and nuking London, and somehow this was explained as a bad thing 😶

I do hear good things about Norf FC. I will amend my future statements about these poofters to specify your regrettable cyst of a capitol.

Lol

Offical BBC response: https://archive.is/uaHZP

This tweet replaces an earlier tweet containing an inaccurate image

That's it. That's the tweet.

This just shows how not only dishonest & incompetent, but arrogant and unapologetic the MSM is.

Imagine if they had responded with something like "Our deepest apologies to Tim Pool for an earlier tweet with his image that could falsely make people believe he was the Texas gunman. That wasn't our intent but we're very sorry for the error. We are reviewing this mistake with our editorial team to ensure it doesn't happen again."

The BBC would come out looking like good, honest people who made a somewhat understandable mistake. Instead we're almost surprised they even mentioned it instead of just deleted & pretending it never happened.

That response is basically a "our lawyers told us we had to do this" response.

They did not do it willingly.

Might not be lawyers, the tweet may have gotten so much traction they knew they couldn't get away with just deleting it and needed to say something- so they said as little as possible.

Say what? Wasn't the article itself and anything else they published in relation to the shooting complete bs too?

I honestly wonder how people that still believe that the BBC makes 'mistakes' are able to breath on their own.

BBC taking quite a bit of giant L's lately. First was the Musk 'interview' and now this.
