WATCH: Kennedy on U.S. Senate floor: Pres. Trump should sue BBCSen. John Kennedy of Louisiana delivered one of the most forceful speeches of the year on the Senate floor this week, laying out in extraordinary detail how the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC)—the United Kingdom’s state-funded media giant—has repeatedly misled viewers about President Trump. Speaking Tuesday afternoon in Washington, Kennedy warned that the BBC’s conduct has gone far beyond bias, describing it as deliberate manipulation that warrants legal action. His remarks follow President Trump’s recent statement that he is prepared to sue the BBC for its false reporting.Kennedy began by explaining how powerful—and unavoidable—the BBC truly is. Every citizen in the United Kingdom is required to pay roughly $230 per year to fund the network, whether they watch BBC programming or not. Collecting nearly $4 billion annually, the BBC operates entertainment channels, children’s programming, a 24-hour news service, dozens of radio stations, streaming platforms, and live parliamentary coverage. “They are everywhere,” Kennedy said, emphasizing how important accuracy should be for a taxpayer-funded media empire with global reach.But accuracy, Kennedy argued, is exactly what the BBC abandoned. He cited a detailed report commissioned by the British Parliament five years ago after lawmakers became alarmed by the BBC’s political bias. An independent consultant spent months documenting how the BBC misled its audience, only for the network to ignore every reform recommendation. The findings became public only after they leaked to The Telegraph.Kennedy highlighted one of the most egregious cases: a BBC documentary released one week before the last U.S. presidential election. The broadcaster spliced together two separate segments of President Trump’s January 6 speech—taken nearly 50 minutes apart—to create the false impression that Trump urged supporters to storm the Capitol. They then overlaid footage of the Proud Boys marching, even though the footage was recorded long before Trump spoke. “No reasonable person could watch President Trump’s full speech and conclude he called for violence,” Kennedy said, calling the edit “pure propaganda.”He listed other examples. One BBC reporter falsely claimed Trump told crowds to “shoot Liz Cheney in the face.” Another claimed Trump suggested Cheney should face a firing squad. The president never said either. Kennedy also detailed how the BBC’s coverage of the Israel–Hamas war favored Hamas, including a Gaza documentary narrated by a 13-year-old whose father was a senior Hamas official—information the BBC concealed.Kennedy ended with a clear message: “This is disgraceful. President Trump is right to sue the BBC—and I hope he does.” His remarks emphasized a growing reality: while Democrats excuse foreign media misinformation, President Trump and leaders like Sen. Kennedy are the only ones willing to expose it and hold it accountable.The post Sen.
