Shaking her head furiously in the corner is Republican commentator Nora Lee Nottson
0:04
Nora Lee, thank you very much for joining us. I mean, I could see you were getting angry as you were listening to the person who was speaking earlier defending the BBC
0:12
What do you make of this story? I think it's absolutely appalling and abhorrent
0:18
The BBC is a public service. We're paying for it. We expect them to report truth, not to deliberately create a lie
0:28
And that is exactly what was done when they reported on Trump
0:34
Not only did they splice language that was almost an hour apart, the footage that they used of people walking to the Capitol was before Trump even arrived to give his speech
0:47
So that was malicious. It was deliberate. And they had a 19 page report about this
0:53
What did they do? Nothing. I don't think this is going to go away
0:57
We need not only an apology, we need a head to roll, and it should be criminal for the BBC to produce lies
1:05
As I was saying Laura Lee during the break I mean as I said when I was on newspapers if you have made a quote up because that what they doing by splicing those accidentally splicing blaming a junior employer If you have done that on a newspaper making a quote up a damaging quote like that
1:20
you'd be in all sorts of legal problems. Absolutely. Do you think that Trump maybe should consider taking some kind of legal action here
1:27
I think everybody here in the UK should be outraged. I think Trump should definitely take legal action because it's fraud is what it is
1:36
It's trying to intervene in a foreign election. And it's also akin to a slippery slope to tyranny
1:43
If we can't trust the BBC to report facts, we expect this out of China, out of Russia
1:48
but not out of the United Kingdom. And yes, what does it do to our special relationship with the US if we cannot trust the BBC
1:56
You know, so now we have to spend our time to do our own research to figure out
2:00
is the BBC being biased? Have they deliberately concocted a lie? That shouldn't be happening
2:05
and not the day before Remembrance Sunday for everybody who's fought for our democracy
2:11
for the fact that we can have trust in the freedom of speech and the reporting of it
2:15
Do you think Donald Trump is, I mean, Caroline Leavitt has been very strong in her condemnation
2:20
today of what the BBC have done Trump goes to war on the BBC But do you think Trump will take further action I think somebody will take further action And I think this underscores 100 fake news
2:33
that a lot of people love to laugh at Donald Trump. We've seen it now. And what else has
2:39
happened that we don't know about? You know, what have they been manipulating over decades
2:43
that we don't know about? Well, we know they have had issues with the whole guards of the Palestine situation. Caroline
2:49
And Lever also alluded to that when she was saying she's sick of when she comes over here watching the BBC swallowing wholesale what Hamas say, whilst not maybe listening to the Israeli point of view
3:00
I mean, that's just another issue she's raised. No, I agree with you 100 percent
3:04
And I was talking about yesterday as well with the BBC presenter pulling a face and saying pregnant women
3:10
There are three women sitting at this table. Why do I have to be embarrassed about being a woman that was born to my mother, who was a woman just like you were born to your mother
3:17
And Olivia, you were born to your mother. Why should we cower from that
3:21
And again, as Olivia pointed out earlier on, Maxine Croxter was the newsreader that made that comment
3:28
She has been taken to task quite harshly. Meanwhile the Panorama the flagship news program which prides itself on impartiality nothing has been done No clearly they not impartial and something has to be done or all credibility is lost for
3:44
the BBC. And just quickly and finally, Noraly, the special relationship. How damaging do you think this is
3:51
I think it is damaging, but Trump is somebody who could look above it all because he's a
3:56
man who likes to get things done and he'll realize there are other people involved in
4:00
the BBC that don't have to do with our government. but he would like to see action, I'm sure of that
4:07
Because, I mean, to be fair to Keir Starmer, he did work incredibly hard
4:10
was very welcoming to Trump when he came over here. Yes. And they did seem, considering their polls apart
4:15
politically and personality-wise, they did seem to have a relationship. They do have a relationship
4:21
and Donald Trump is a big lover of the UK. I don't think that's going to change
4:25
and if anything, this just vindicates Donald Trump in fake news and why he created Truth Social
4:31
Will you be paying your BBC licence fee anymore? No, I don't want to
4:35
Norah Lee, thank you very much. Thank you. Indeed, I thought you might say that. That is Republican commentator Norah Lee Nottson
4:41
A BBC spokesman has told GB News, while we don't comment on leaked documents
4:46
when the BBC receives feedback, it takes us seriously and considers it carefully
