Donald Trump's press secretary, Caroline Leavitt, called the BBC "100% fake news" and a "propaganda machine" in a candid interview published after the broadcaster was accused of bias, UNN reports with reference to The Guardian.<\/p>\n

Details<\/h2>\n

Caroline Leavitt, a senior White House official in the Trump administration, said that watching BBC broadcasts during trips to the UK "ruins" her day, adding that taxpayers are "forced to pay for a left-wing propaganda machine."<\/p>\n

Leavitt's comments came after MPs said the corporation had "serious questions" about how the US president's speech was edited in a BBC Panorama documentary.<\/p>\n

A document obtained by The Telegraph indicates that one of the current affairs program's episodes "completely misled" viewers by combining two parts of the speech.<\/p>\n

In the program, Trump stated that on the day of the January 6, 2021 riots, he would go with his supporters to the Capitol, urging them to "fight like hell." However, a fragment where Trump called on those present to "peacefully and patriotically make their voices heard" was omitted from the speech.<\/p>\n

In an interview with the Telegraph, Leavitt said: "This deliberately false, selectively edited BBC clip is further proof that this is completely, 100% fake news that should no longer be on the television screens of the great citizens of the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

"Every time I travel to the United Kingdom with President Trump and am forced to watch the BBC in our hotel rooms, I lose my mind over their blatant propaganda and lies about the President of the United States and everything he is doing to make America better and the world safer."<\/p>\n

Earlier, The Telegraph reported on an internal BBC document written by Michael Prescott, a former independent adviser to the BBC's Editorial Guidelines and Standards Council.<\/p>\n

In the document, Prescott, among other things, draws attention to the editing of Trump's speech in the "Panorama" film, which was broadcast directly before last year's US elections.<\/p>\n

The BBC, as Prescott noted, combined two different speeches by Trump on January 6, 2021, before some of his supporters attacked the US Capitol building. A part of his speech where he called on people to express their opinions "peacefully" was omitted.<\/p>\n

The BBC said it does not comment on leaks but carefully considers feedback.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
