US President Donald Trump has made a provocative statement, claiming he feels an "obligation" to take legal action against the BBC during a recent interview on Fox News.
In footage obtained by several news outlets, Trump stated that he believes the British broadcaster has "done a terrible job" in covering his presidency. He warned that he will "sue them bigly" unless they start reporting more favorably about him.
Trump's comments come amid a growing controversy over the BBC's coverage of him and his administration. The network has faced criticism from Trump supporters for its perceived negative bias, with some accusing it of being "anti-American".
When asked by Fox News host Laura Ingraham if he would sue the BBC, Trump replied: "I feel an obligation to do that because they've done a terrible job, and I think it's unfair." He added that the network has been "very unfair" in its reporting on him.
The BBC has repeatedly denied allegations of bias, stating that it strives for impartiality in its coverage. However, Trump's comments have sparked concerns among some that he is using the law to silence criticism of his administration.

and presidential overreach 
! Trump thinks he can just bully the BBC into giving him a free pass on their coverage? Come on, dude! 
The man's been in office for years and still can't handle some constructive criticism from the British press.
. Meanwhile, we've got real issues to deal with in this country – climate change, economic inequality, healthcare reform... when are we going to start focusing on those instead of petty squabbles over news coverage? 
Let's not forget that a free press is what keeps our democracy strong 
. It's like, if you can't handle the heat, get out of the spotlight 
. The fact that he's resorting to threats and lawsuits instead of engaging in a respectful dialogue is really telling about his character 
. We should all remember that with great power comes great responsibility 
, and Trump just isn't living up to that standard 
. It's time for him to take a step back, reflect on his actions, and maybe even learn from the media how to do their job effectively 
.
trump is literally trying to bully a news network into being more pro him?? like, helloooo freedom of speech and all that 
and honestly can we talk about how entitled he sounds with that "i feel an obligation" vibe 
it's just so extra. i mean the bbc has been doing their job and reporting on trump's admin like they're supposed to, and now he wants to sue them? 
that's just crazy talk. newsflash don't try to silence critics by threatening lawsuits 
. Like, who does he think he is? The BBC is a respected news organization and just doing their job, which is to report facts 
. I mean, if he can't handle a little bit of criticism, maybe he shouldn't be the President 
. I don't know what his problem is, but it's not us, it's him 
.
. News outlets are supposed to report the facts and hold people in power accountable, even if it means being critical of them.
and btw, bias is subjective, but at least the BBC is trying to report facts and not just spout Trump's propaganda 
. I mean, come on, can't we just disagree without trying to take each other to court? 
. The BBC has done its job, reporting the facts as they see them, even if that means showing a critical side of Trump 
It's just so exhausting when it always has to be about winning or losing, not about finding common ground 
. Can't he just take a chill pill already? It's like, if you've got a problem with how something's being reported, talk to the journalist or editor, don't try to strong-arm them into doing what you want. And by the way, "sue them bigly"? Give me a break 
. If anything, it's the public that should be worried about biased reporting – not the other way around 
️. But seriously, Trump thinks he can just sue his way out of criticism? That's like trying to pay your way into a good review on Yelp 
. Not gonna happen, Donald 
I'm not sure why Trump is making such a big deal out of this. The BBC has been covering him and his presidency, and yes, they might not be singing his praises all the time. That's kind of what news outlets are supposed to do, right? Report on both sides of an issue?

it's all just this crazy entitled attitude that's going to get him in trouble eventually...
