Laura Kuenssberg's Contempt For Labour Or Just Bad Journalism?

Kuenssberg is a Tory mouthpiece and as the BBC want their nearly £4 Billion, yes billion, a year in tax from this government they won't do anything. Defund the BBC and let them stand on their own two feet. On top to that the government get a £1-2 billion loan from the taxpayer due to the way the money is handed over to the BBC

[@DerekHarrison-ue9vv]

I thought this was a free country and freedom of speech was allowed.When Gary Lineker and Carol Vorderman criticise the Tories,they’re told to stick to what they know and keep out of politics.Yet the likes of Kuenssberg and Fiona Bruce on QUESTION TIME show their bias every week and they’re allowed to get away with it?

I'm a Lib Dem voter and I don't believe Labour at times are doing enough to rly punish the Tories, but let's be frankly honest here, Keunssberg is doing this because she's a Tory and she can't hide it, there's a difference between frustration and disagreement with Labour's pledges (anti freedom of movement, U turn on green pledges) and just attackiing just so you want 5 more years of the toxic Tories

[@JJONNYREPP]

If you are reporting on the news... as you would do when making the news... every paragraph is gonna have to begin with the word: Allegedly. you seem to be suggesting there are no facts in the heady world of the media meme? as for going to a lower league football match... Less hassle than top flight game, perhaps? Maybe he can only afford that kind of football game? Being a journo also suggests you, the journo, is required to take a contrary stance at any given opportunity when doing your job - therefore she's going to throw a little bit of intrigue into the proceedings. though starmer going to watch a sporting event is hardly motions to war or an act which should see him being hung drawn or quartered. depends on the team he supports is the cry!!! maybe. if all journalism now is a bunch of ass wipes anticipating every facet of a conversation or debate then then i think: why bother? journos have merely taken a similar stance that folk like big old captain bob took with a request to be allowed to see every question which was going to be put to him prior to an interview being allowed to take place. clever stuff or just downright dull and tiresome?
