Karoline Leavitt has labeled the broadcaster a \u201cLeftist propaganda machine\u201d due to its editing of a speech by US President Donald Trump<\/p>\n
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has accused the BBC of being \u201cpurposefully dishonest\u201d over the broadcaster\u2019s 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\u2019s remarks that day.
\nIn the video, Trump appears to tell supporters: \u201cWe\u2019re gonna walk down to the Capitol and I\u2019ll be there with you and we fight. We fight like hell and if you don\u2019t fight like hell you\u2019re not gonna have a country anymore.\u201d
\nAccording to The Telegraph, Trump\u2019s 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 supporters.<\/p>\n

In remarks to The Telegraph published late Friday, Leavitt criticized the BBC for showing \u201cselectively edited\u201d footage of Trump\u2019s speech in the BBC Panorama episode on the event. \u201cThey 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,\u201d Leavitt said.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery 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\u2019s doing to make America better and the world a safer place.\u201d<\/p>\n
UK taxpayers are being \u201cforced to foot the bill for a Leftist propaganda machine,\u201d Leavitt added.
\nIn response to the accusation, a spokesperson for the BBC told The Guardian that the BBC\u2019s editorial guidelines and standards committee considers differing views and opinions of its coverage. \u201cWhile we don\u2019t comment on leaked documents, when the BBC receives feedback it takes it seriously and considers it carefully,\u201d the spokesperson claimed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
