Maria Zakharova on BBC resignations: Their fake news has no end  - 1

There is no place to put a label on the BBC, the management of the radio and television corporation fabricated "Bucha" and spread a lot of fake news. This was stated in an interview with the "Vzglyad" newspaper, the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, commenting on the resignation of the Director General and CEO of the BBC.

The diplomat notes that the Western media in general have repeatedly created fake news, including about Russia.

"There is no way to label them", commented Zakharova.

She adds that BBC journalists have "invented stories about Russian fans on the eve of the Sochi Olympics, fake news about Syria, "planted" news about the Skripal family and many more“.

On November 9, BBC Director General Tim Davey and Executive Director Deborah Turnes announced their resignations amid the scandal over the faked speech of US President Donald Trump before the storming of the Capitol.

On November 3, the Daily Telegraph newspaper drew attention to Trump's speech on the Panorama program. It was edited in such a way that viewers would think that the politician was encouraging riots on Capitol Hill. The creators of the story combined footage from the beginning of Trump's speech with what he said almost an hour later.
