Was The Bbc Correct By Producing And Showing Such A Programme?

I believe so - there has been accusations in the past made against him and he is on tape behaving in a disgusting and disgraceful manner.
My question would be - why not?

[jno]

yes, why not?

[BestAdvice]

In my opinion the BBC were correct to air this programme. Why should his behaviour be excusable?.....

[naomi24]

No. Whatever his behaviour prior to him becoming President, as far as I'm aware he's broken no laws and none of his accusers have taken him to court. Another case of spite for spite's sake. Shame on the BBC.

[jackthehat]

Of course....
Free-speech and all that; you know, those things of which you approve providing they chime with your own mind-set.

Quelle surprise - not

Why shouldn't the Beeb show programmes such as this.

[Spicerack]

It's what they do. Make crap programmes for half-wits.
How much longer normal people will have to subsidize their puerile drivel is the question.

[naomi24]

//Why shouldn't the Beeb show programmes such as this.//

Because if he’s broken no laws, it serves no purpose - except to denigrate him. This is just another addition to the on-going smear campaign. Hateful.

[CrapAtCryptics]

Who was it who said - when you indulge in personal abuse you have lost the argument.

[MallyJ]

Is there anything in the programme that is a lie? No? Then why shouldn't such a programme be shown..he may not have been president but it is past behaviour that tells us about the man. There may be an excuse for such behaviour when he was in his teen and early 20s (no I don't think there is an excuse) providing he has left it all behind but sadly that doesn't seem to be the case.

[Ken4155]

But, as JTH says, are we not allowed to make our own minds up? I don't take everything i see and read as gospel and i'm sure the majority of the population don't. I didn't watch the programme and i wonder how many who are berating the BBC did.

[anotheoldgit]

It is just a one sided augment, with no one on the programme to speak in his defence.

But it makes me laugh to read some ABers posts, they speak as if they know of Trump's sexual offences personally and not just what they have read from anti-Trump reports.

[anotheoldgit]

That should be 'argument'

[Rockrose]

//It is just a one sided augment, with no one on the programme to speak in his defence. //

This is what Trump would say
'Fake news, fake news, I would never do anything like that but if I did I would be the best sex pest ever, because of my small hands and mamoth

intelligence'

[tamborine]

yes, if only to show girls wanting free breakfasts!

[-Talbot-]

Mammoth intelligence

I rather agree with this statement, don't you.......?
