GB News presenter Bev Turner has shared an exclusive message from the White House which blasted the BBC over bias in its reporting.
Bev, who presents The Late Show Live with Ben Leo from Washington DC, shared an excoriating 23-word attack on the BBC from President Trump’s press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
It said: “The White House proudly called out their purposeful fake news, and this resignation is an admission of guilt.
“Everyone should watch GB News.”
The direct broadside against the departing BBC chiefs is an even harsher attack than the one Leavitt earlier shared on social media.

Speaking to Ben Leo on The Late Show Live, Bev detailed how a week of damning reports from The Telegraph had exposed BBC bias at the highest level.
By Friday, “the clock was then ticking”, Bev said. “What were they going to say? How was this going to be treated by the White House?”
That day, White House press chief Karoline Leavitt came out to blast the BBC’s “dishonest and selective” editing.
“BBC News is dying because they are anti-Trump fake news,” she had earlier said.
Bev, reacting to the exclusive statement from the White House, told fellow GB News star Ben: “I promise you, I did not ask her to say that.
“Obviously as a journalist… for a channel of which I’m incredibly proud. That was very rewarding.
“She’s clearly a very wise woman,” Bev added.
Ben said: “British journalists this side of the pond were scratching our heads saying: ‘Why hasn’t the White House responded to this initial very good Daily Telegraph story about Panorama?'”
“It was silence, and it was kind of like, what are they doing? Are they waiting?
Bev replied: “I think that they were allowing the personnel within the BBC to leave with as much dignity as possible.
“I genuinely think that was the President behaving admirably – he could have come out and demanded the resignation. He didn’t do it.
“They kept quiet. I’m sure they knew what was going on behind the scenes…and then these two major figures at the BBC have gone.
“We’re about to see now a pile-on with a lot of the left, a lot of the establishment media in the UK, to depict this as Donald Trump dictating the agenda.”
However, Bev argued that this simply was not the case.
The “concern” is, she said, is that the BBC does not deal with certain stories with due impartiality.
“We can think of so many issues with the BBC,” Bev added. “You get one version of events.”
“Global warming is another one, how they feel about the Liz Truss premiership is another one, how they feel about the whole of the Trump administration… How the BBC depicts the Pakistani rape gangs.”
