Have to admit I’m not familiar with him. But from the article he seems a good pick, a career journalist with a lot of experience reporting on these matters and an in demand portfolio.
Anyone who’s followed his career more closely able to weigh in on the accuracy of this?
Not a fan of Chris Mason and reckon he may worse than Kuenssberg in being more subtle when it comes to slanting stories for the benefit of the Conservatives.
Always suspicious of a Yorkshireman who doesn’t have a Yorkshire accent
Chris Mason seems to have become less incisive and informative the higher he has climbed the BBC News & Current Affairs ladder.
The utter bullshit he lets slide in “Any Answers” is in stark contrast to the stuff he’d fact-check on the R4 “PM” programme on his previous gig.
