White House: BBC Broadcasts Completely Fake News

According too the‍ English section of webangah ⁢News Agency, quoting Mehr News Agency from ‌Politico, White House spokesperson‌ Caroline Lewitt stated that the BBC spreads⁤ “false” ⁤narratives.⁤ She​ cited their⁣ portrayal ⁤of the January 6, 2021,⁢ attack on the U.S. Capitol-as ‍supporters of then-President Donald​ Trump ⁣stormed the ‍building-as​ her reason for this claim.

In comments published by The Telegraph,‍ Lewitt criticized the BBC for showing “edited and selective” footage ​of Trump’s speech during‍ a program about the event.⁢ She added that this ⁤outlet‌ “no longer ⁤deserves viewers’ attention” on British ‌television.

Lewitt told the newspaper: “The deliberately ‌dishonest and selectively edited ⁣clip by ⁣BBC ⁢serves as further proof that they are completely and entirely fake news. British taxpayers are forced to⁣ fund a propaganda machine.”

On ‌January 6, 2021, supporters⁤ of ⁤then-President Donald Trump sought to stop Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election by attacking the Capitol ⁤building. At least​ five people ‌died in clashes with‍ police during this riot.

At‌ that time, Trump ⁤claimed his​ Democratic opponent joe Biden had won through election fraud.

The January 6 attack​ was considered​ the largest assault on the U.S. Capitol⁢ as British forces​ burned it along ⁤with other sites‍ during the​ War of‌ 1812.

This⁢ incident led to ‍Trump’s second​ impeachment by a Democrat-controlled ‌House⁤ of Representatives; Democrats accused him of inciting‍ his supporters. The January 6 ​riot has also ⁤resulted in numerous congressional investigations and hundreds of legal prosecutions against those alleged ⁢to ⁣have participated in it.
