Donald Trump attacks “corrupt journalists” after the BBC chief resigns from the British broadcaster in a scandal over the editing of a documentary about the US president.
Trump says “corrupt journalists” have been exposed, adding that “these are very dishonest people who tried to step on the scales of a presidential election.”
The criticism emerged over clips spliced together from a Trump speech on January 6, 2021, when he was accused of fomenting the mob attack on the US Capitol seeking to keep him in power despite losing his reelection bid.
The BBC has been under mounting pressure after an internal report by a former standards adviser was leaked to the Daily Telegraph newspaper last week that cited failings in its coverage of the Israel-Hamas war, trans issues, and the speech made by Trump.
The report’s section on the Gaza war documents that BBC Arabic’s story selection and editing largely omitted pieces criticizing Hamas or highlighting the suffering of Israelis, including the hostages kidnapped by the terror group.
