So what's everyone's take on the spineless Beeb throwing Maitlis to the wolves? Yet they keep Boris' teenage crush Kuenssberg who is a joke. |
What has Maitlis done wrong? |  | | |

Possibly because she presents Newsnight rather than the news.
And what she said was factually correct anyway.
By his own admission, he broke several rules.
But this shambles is what we have. I think they’re making a mistake in not just binning him for 6 months while he works in the background anyway. This will repeat and repeat and repeat and cause far more problems than necessary.
Idiots. At least the myth of his ‘genius’ has been blown apart. |
More importantly, Boris‘ Churchill impersonation has taken a mortal blow ! |  |

The first sentence makes no sense. I agree with the rest. But it was still inappropriate despite the fact that I agreed with everything she said. |  |

To be fair, I’m not sure how Maitlis thought she’d get away with that. |
What did she do? |  |

It wasn’t inappropriate.
It was a statement of fact not opinion.
Cummings, by his own admission, broke at least 5 rules. She stated that he had.
The BBC is fast becoming a joke. |  | | |

No. 10 are insisting he didn't break any rules. We all know they are lying but its a bit different us saying it and the BBC saying it. | | | |

They can say what they want. That he broke the rules is a statement of fact.
Their only case is motivation for doing so. That is farcical in itself, but irrelevant to the point she made.
The BBC have lost any shred of credibility. They went a long way along that path over Brexit. They’ve now leapt over any line of speaking truth.
It is not a matter of debate whether he broke the rules or not. Our national broadcaster needs to be able to say that. | | | |

Not really.
She said he broke the rules and everyone knows that and the government in pretending he didn’t are lying about the rules they wrote. Those are statements of fact. There isn’t a valid alternative set of facts that say that people were allowed to go back to work after meeting a person they suspect is infected. Nor that an infected person can visit a hospital. Or that someone was allowed to drive for 60 miles to sit in a bench. It is simply not true.
The BBC have become obsessed with assuming that facts have to be counterbalanced as though they were merely opinions. They can’t be. And the BBC is failing all of us by pretending that they can. | | | |

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2020/may/27/bbc-switches-emily-maitlis-in-news
Here's the clip, which is less than a minute
I think that the Government thought that they had drawn a line under it, and it was "time to move on", as echoed by some of the hosts on Talksport yesterday. They're angry that nobody else thinks that there's nothing more to say about this, and that they can't set the agenda.

What a fantastic journalist Emily Maitlis is, far too good for the tainted BBC. Just watched Naga Munchetty giving HandonCock an easy ride on BBC Breakfast. He totally ignored her last question, which was inevitably about Dom. He sat there brazenly and talked for 60 seconds about something totally different, running the time down like a time wasting footballer, with a sickly smirk on his face.
I'd like to say I hope people will express their outrage in the right way, in the ballot box, but the next (local) elections are in May 2021. By then, there will be many more disasters wrought on the country by the Tories and Cummings will have been forgotten. They are busy engineering the worst disaster of all - only seven or eight months away now. |  | | |

Hate Tories with a passion always have always will, no excuses, they don't give a f*ck about the working person, in my lifetime from T******r to the utter c*nt of a privelidge boy we have now, they'll never change, if ya voted tory f*ck you, block me whatever I don't give a flying f*ck
Saying that Im getting on now is it time to move on and enjoy what I have of life and be less political, my grandchildren come first now even though not seen them for a good while, new grandson born in Feb (daughter lives in Kent) not met him yet never mind giving him a big cwtch, granddaughter due in 3 weeks (Glasgow), when will I get to meet her?.
Been off this week on holidays and have sunned it up n the garden, it's been fab, surely the easy life is the way to go....... |  |

(Talking of Johnson’s “blind loyalty” in the face of plummeting poll ratings, she expressed bafflement: “The prime minister knows all this and has chosen to ignore it) That is not a fact - that is a more an opinion and I hate the tories as much as Paul. |  |
