BBC Faces Criticism Amidst Donald Trump Doctoring Scandal
Donald Trump's Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has strongly condemned the BBC, calling it "100 per cent fake news" following the controversy over doctored footage involving the former president.
Public Discontent Over BBC Funding
Commentator Lizzie Cundy criticized the BBC on GB News, describing the broadcaster's issues as "fiasco after fiasco" and highlighting widespread dissatisfaction with the TV license fee.
"People want choice, people want freedom, and people certainly don't want to be misled and lied to, especially when they're having forced to pay £174.50."
She emphasized the growing number of people refusing to pay the license fee, stating that 300,000 households are not paying and 50,000 prosecutions are underway.
"Is the BBC worth that? Let me tell you, 300,000 are failing to pay, and we've got 50,000 prosecutions going on. People don't want this anymore."
Ongoing Controversy
Cundy also highlighted the global embarrassment the BBC faces due to the handling of the Trump scandal.
"We've had fiasco after fiasco after fiasco. What's happening with Trump at the minute that is humiliating globally for the BBC."
White House Response
The White House has continued to denounce the BBC in light of the doctored footage controversy, aligning with Leavitt's remarks.
