Former United States president Donald Trump has criticized what he calls 'corrupt journalists' following the resignation of the BBC chief. The resignation comes amid a scandal involving the editing of a documentary about Trump, specifically regarding clips from his January 6, 2021 speech. The controversy has intensified after a leaked internal report highlighted failings in the BBC's coverage of several sensitive topics, including the Israel-Gaza conflict and issues related to gender identity. The report pointed out that BBC Arabic's coverage often omitted criticism of Hamas and did not sufficiently address the suffering of Israeli hostages.
