Emma Barnett on Newsnight

[mickd1961]

The difference between her questioning of Tory Andrew Mitchell and the female SNP MP was stark.

Constantly ranting at Mitchell and not letting him reply yet calm and measured when interviewing the SNP lady.

Somebody needs to pull her and the rest of this failing corporation into line.

This shrieking,hectoring style of interviewing has no place on the BBC......she’s another one to gain due to “equality” because there’s no way 15-30 years ago she’d have got past Robin Day,Brian Walden,either Dimbleby or Paxman.

With those interviewers they were calm assassins on ANY politician and you had no clue who they themselves supported which is just the way it should be.

I’m fed up of hearing about Boris’s tiff and how many times he’s been “asked the question”.

Anytime there’s trouble with Labour the journalists wait for Corbyn to appear through his scruffy garden and he blanks every question and just says....”lovely to see you all” and nobody seems to give a f u c k in the media when he does that.

The playing field is uneven!

Do I think Boris should’ve answered the question?

Yes.....a quick one liner admitting he was a d I c k for ruining the girlfriend’s sofa and saying what a vibrant and strong personality she was and how much he admired her would’ve killed this in an instant.

A poor decision ( I suspect by his team ) to not allow his natural instincts which I’m sure would’ve been to answer.

Judge him on his decision not to answer by all means but FFS......for all media to pursue this day after day is pathetic.......he is clearly not going to answer it so stop f king asking and move on to more important questions.
