We have reproduced the list that was subsequently produced below, and explained what happened in each case and whether we reported on it.
Just because the BBC covered an attack does not mean that incident was not under-reported, although it is unclear whether Mr Trump was referring to US or global news organisations.
Some terrorist incidents do get more coverage than others, a point hotly debated on social media.
Most of the atrocities listed by the White House were committed by Islamists, and the killing of nine black worshippers by a self-avowed white supremacist in South Carolina is notably absent.

(82,849 posts)I don't know what the hell that means, or what metric the Trump administration is using, but it morphed real fast from President Trump's charge that a bunch of terrorist attacks hadn't been covered at all to that they hadn't received sufficient coverage.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but those two positions aren't the same thing at all.
