edward douglas white jr. Domiciliate press out secretarial assistant Karoline Leavitt has accused the BBC of existence “purposefully dishonest” over the broadcaster’s depiction of the 2021 US Capitol riots. The channel has faced criticism in recent days over allegations that it misled viewers by splicing together different segments of President Donald Trump’s remarks that day.
In the video, Trump appears to tell supporters: “We’re gonna walk down to the Capitol and I’ll be there with you and we fight. We fight like hell and if you don’t fight like hell you’re not gonna have a country anymore.” According to The Telegraph, Trump’s words were altered: the clip splices together remarks made about 54 minutes apart. The protesters, shown marching toward the Capitol immediately after the edited clip, had in fact been caught on film before Trump started addressing his supporters.
In remarks to The Telegraph published late Friday, Leavitt criticized the BBC for showing “selectively edited” footage of Trump’s speech in the BBC Panorama episode on the event. “They are total, 100 percent fake news that should no longer be worth the time on the television screens of the great people of the United Kingdom,” Leavitt said.
“Every time I travel to the United Kingdom with President Trump and am forced to watch the BBC in our hotel rooms, it ruins my day listening to their blatant propaganda and lies about the president of the United States and all that he’s doing to make America better and the world a safer place.”
UK taxpayers are being “forced to foot the bill for a Leftist propaganda machine,” Leavitt added.
In response to the accusation, a spokesperson for the BBC told The Guardian that the BBC’s editorial guidelines and standards committee considers differing views and opinions of its coverage. “While we don’t comment on leaked documents, when the BBC receives feedback it takes it seriously and considers it carefully,” the spokesperson claimed.
