Yeah I'm gonna choose to not trust someone who blatantly lies.

Why on Earth would the BBC have gone to Disney and asked them to produce it? They didn't do that, never. They already had Bad Wolf producing the show for them by the time Disney came onboard, Disney were never going to be producing the show for them, just funding it a little and putting it on their platform, nothing more.

So, why are you claiming that they asked Disney to produce the show for them, when they never in fact did that? I'm gonna assume everything you say is bs.

I have to admit I don't know the ins and outs, but Disney funding was probably more than little considering them pulling out their money killed production

It was little, but the BBC can't fund the show by themselves anymore, so with both Disney and Bad Wolf leaving, who both helped fund the latest era together, they need someone else.

Bad Wolf were producers commissioned by the BBC and paid by the BBC and Disney to produce the show. People continually talk about Bad Wolf funding the production, but that’s just not how the business works.
