Farage Calls BBC “Institutionally Biased” Amid Scandal

U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to file a $1 billion lawsuit against the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) following allegations that the network deliberately edited his January 6, 2021 speech to make it appear as though he encouraged the Capitol Hill riots.

According to reports, Trump’s legal team is preparing formal proceedings, accusing the BBC of defamation and malicious misrepresentation. The controversy comes after the resignations of BBC Director-General Tim Davie and Head of News Deborah Turness, who stepped down amid public outrage and internal investigations into the edited footage.

Meanwhile, in London, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage weighed in on the growing scandal, calling the BBC “institutionally biased for decades.” Speaking at a Westminster news conference, Farage cited the broadcaster’s coverage of migration, Europe, net zero, and the war in Gaza, claiming its editorial culture has long leaned toward political partiality.

The Trump-BBC dispute has stirred new debate over media accountability, political influence, and trust in public broadcasters, reigniting calls for reform within the UK’s most established media institution.
