BBC Faces Criticism Over Doctoring Scandal
Donald Trump's Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, described the BBC as "100 per cent fake news" amid controversy over doctored footage involving the former president.
Critics Demand Funding Reform
Commentator Lizzie Cundy sharply criticized the BBC on GB News, calling the broadcaster responsible for "fiasco after fiasco" and questioning the public’s willingness to fund it.
"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."
"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."
Public Frustration Over Mandatory Fees
Cundy emphasized that Britons are rejecting the license fee model, with many refusing to pay due to dissatisfaction with the broadcaster's recent controversies.
Ongoing Fallout From the Trump Incident
The "Trump doctoring" scandal has sparked a global embarrassment for the BBC, further intensifying the debate about the broadcaster's funding and editorial integrity.
"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 Continues to Challenge the BBC
The White House remains engaged in the dispute following Leavitt's remarks, continuing to question the broadcaster's credibility after the doctored footage came to light.
