So, basically, OFCOM is saying that a politician cannot read an autocue because it's 'news'.
How come they turn a blind eye to Labour activists like Robert Peston. OFCOM itself, is no doubt crawling with Wokey lefty trash.
Peston is a journo first. JR-M and the like aren't.
Yep, a journo who makes his personal political feelings known at every opportunity.
Peston doesn't just make his dislike for the Tory government known, he does with vitriol dripping from every word. I don't watch him, but I admire any Tory representative who appears on his programme, the desire to punch his sneering face must be great.

Eh? She gets a huge amount of stick for being sympathetic to the Tories. If she's getting stick from both sides, she's probably doing a good job.

It's an odd one - one side convinced she's a diehard Tory, the other side the opposite. I think she does a better job than many in her field.

Well there you go, I find she's more in hoc with her paymasters by giving ministers an easier ride than they deserve.

Still, it is the Conservative party that is supposed to be in government and held to greater scrutiny.

Ergo, if both sides are complaining it's probably about right.

I always think he looks rather unkempt, one of the great unwashed thinkers who hasn't thought that a comb through his hair might be a good idea, just once a month would do.

Did you see her series about the turnover in Tory leaders?
If you did you would not make that observation.

I watch her on Sunday morning in the vain hope that one day she might, just might, be even handed with her interviewees, but once a week is enough for anyone, as the Bishop said to the actress.

Is there another Kuenssberg on the BBC that I’ve not heard about? The one on Sunday mornings isn’t very impartial.

Neither are Victoria Derbyshire or Fiona Bruce, they are both most definitely anti Tory, although I find Clive Myrie very even handed in his interviewing and doesn't show his political bias in any way.
