GB News host fumes 'heads will roll' as Donald Trump skewers BBC for 'leftist propaganda'

Donald Trump has shared his fury over the BBC after a 19-page dossier said the programme "completely misled" viewers by showing the President telling his supporters they would "fight like hell".

In reality, Trump had said he was going to walk with his supporters to "peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard". The breaking news was discussed on GB News on Saturday morning (November 8) as Paul Duddridge appeared on the show to share his insight.

He told the hosts: "This is going to have an impact at the very, very top of British politics, to do with trade deals, to do with BBC America for example. They have already lost trust. But for the American administration to, as you said, refer to the BBC as a leftist propaganda machine and practicing purposeful dishonesty, it's quite extraordinary for them to use that kind of language."

Paul said the UK is being noticed in the US for having a "lack of free speech". Host Anne Diamond then asked Paul if BBC boss Tim Davie should resign.

He replied: "I don't think it's a resigning matter. I think it's an independent inquiry matter, this is a state broadcaster. I'd like to see somebody actually independent holding an enquiry. I don't think it's a resigning matter, I really don't. Heads will roll, but it won't be Tim Davie's."

Earlier in the show guest Linda Duberley also said that an apology from the BBC would be deemed an admission of responsibility. She added that the public shouldn't "hold their breath" waiting for the BBC to take accountability for the edited speech.

The Telegraph reported that a memo shared that the programme was accused of making the US president say things he didn't actually say by splicing together footage from separate parts of his speech.

Karoline Leavitt, Trump's main spokesperson, told the publication that British taxpayers were "forced to foot the bill for a leftist propaganda machine".

She added: "This purposefully dishonest, selectively edited clip by the BBC is further evidence that they are total, 100 per cent fake news that should no longer be worth the time on the television screens of the great people of the United Kingdom."

Leavitt fumed that when they travel to the UK they're forced to watch the BBC in the hotel rooms and said: "It ruins my day listening to their blatant propaganda and lies about the president of the United States and all that he's doing to make America better and the world a safer place."
