BBC News has accidentally featured a tweet from a hardcore gay adult website in its coverage of a story about Donald Trump.
The comment from gay porn company Titan Men was included in a recent online story about Trump’s latest Twitter rant, Pink News has reported.
“US President Donald Trump has launched a Twitter tirade about the ‘guilt’ of Hillary Clinton and the opposition Democratic Party,” BBC News reported.
“His Sunday morning outburst came amid reports that the first arrest in the Russian collusion inquiry would be made this week, possibly as early as Monday.
“Critics on Twitter were quick to accuse him of attempting to divert attention from the Russian investigation by complaining about the lack of focus on an opponent he defeated in the presidential election nearly a year ago.”
The story featured a tweet by Titan Men, which said, “She’s not the President, you are… Nice try at distracting from indictments coming on Monday.”
BBC News apparently missed that the account is a gay porn site, and has since removed the tweet from its story.
When not engaged in political commentary, the Titan Men Twitter account primarily posts shots from its hardcore gay porn videos.
She's not the President, you are….Nice try at distracting from indictments coming on Monday. He who doth protest too much…

Oh no BBC amplifies a tweet from a for profit business.
Entirely understandable mistake. The story was about Trump, hardly surprising that it linked to images of massive dick.
