She’d have been alright if only she worked for the government.She did break the rules
Technically she broke the rules and technically Kuenssberg didn't when the Cummings stuff broke.
But I know which was by far the worse piece of journalism and I know who should be getting booted.
No you’ve just admitted your political bias has led you to an illogical conclusion
The funny thing about this is that if she had have opened the show by saying good evening welcome to news night Boris Johnson is both a racist and a liar the BBC couldn’t have done a thing about it because the BBC’s charter acknowledges that he is both those things.
No. I admit Maitlis broke the rules.
But Kuenssberg is a senior journalist. Her performance when the Cummings story broke was abysmal.
I'm sure Maitlis will learn from this but Keuunssberg will never be a decent journalist.
Kuenssberg is basically Gilbert at a national broadcaster.
Or I was using my instinct!The frustrating thing is she could have framed it slightly differently and it would have been completely water tight. Instead of “the public” it could have been “many people” or “polls suggest”.

She says she wasn't dropped and asked for a night off. Her editor also backs this. Probably no conspiracy here folks.
Maitlis explains absence from BBC's Newsnight
The new presenter tweeted that she would not have took the slot if Maitlis had been removed and then Maitlis came out with this.
You could be right but it could also be a bit of coordinated PR.

I imagine Ms Maitlis account has been hacked by Vladimir Putin
Must say the BBC have a very flexible leave policy for its presenters.She says she wasn't dropped and asked for a night off. Her editor also backs this. Probably no conspiracy here folks.

Seen a couple of journalists for other papers / channels flag this up. From what I have read seems the BBCs own procedures for handling complaints got completely thrown out of the window.Also amazing that they can make a decision that quickly about impartiality when these complaints usually take weeks or months.
