BBC Faces Criticism Amid Controversies
Donald Trump's Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has labeled the BBC as "100 per cent fake news" following a scandal involving doctored footage related to Donald Trump. This has intensified the ongoing dispute between the White House and the broadcaster.
Debate Over BBC Funding
Commentator Lizzie Cundy strongly criticized the BBC on GB News, arguing that it should fund itself privately. She emphasized that viewers want freedom and choice rather than being forced to pay for misinformation.
"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."
Cundy pointed out the high number of unpaid license fees and prosecutions:
- 300,000 people are failing to pay the license fee
- 50,000 prosecutions are currently underway
"People don't want this anymore."
Ongoing Fiascos at the BBC
Lizzie Cundy described the broadcaster as facing "fiasco after fiasco," particularly highlighting the damaging global impact of the Trump footage incident.
"We've had fiasco after fiasco after fiasco. What's happening with Trump at the minute that is humiliating globally for the BBC."
Summary

Author's summary: The BBC's credibility is severely challenged by accusations of doctored content and public opposition to its mandatory funding scheme.
