Donald Trump’s White House has accused the BBC of “purposeful dishonesty” amid a row over bias at the broadcaster.
It launched its attack over the way the corporation selectively edited a speech made by the president, dismissing it as “100 per cent fake news.”
British taxpayers were being “forced to foot the bill for a leftist propaganda machine”, Karoline Leavitt, Mr Trump’s press secretary said.
