BBC Laura Kuenssberg Show Accused of Anti-Green Bias After Cancelling Zack Polanski Interview

14 comments

1. KKKuensberg has always been an obvious Tory, she was dreadful at holding them to account in Government, why would we expect anything different now?

2. Shitting herself because she knows she wouldn’t be able to shut him down in an interview

3. The BBC across all its platforms has always been sickly right leaning, but in the last decade or so has been blatantly full Farage.

4. yet more undeniable partisanship from the allegedly “impartial” public broadcaster. it’s no wonder license fee receipts are on the floor.

5. Should have been sacked years ago shes no journalist

6. Fucking state of this sub. Polanski is a fucking bellend of such monumental proportions it’s hard to overstate it. I’m not a LK fan by any means, but Jesus fucking Christ. Polanski and Mothra what a time to be alive.

7. Can I add this: In 2016 the Tory party took charge of BBC senior appointments.

   Those calling for the BBC’s death are very severely wrong to do so. It can be repaired.

   Even damaged as it is, it’s a massive bulwark against the Foxifcation of the news, if you want the BBC to die your allies are the Reform party, media barons, the Tory party, please think again. They desperately want to mimic the US media with “The Daily Mail presents the News”.

   You might like this book. [The war against the BBC](https://www.amazon.com/War-Against-BBC-Unprecedented-Combination/dp/0141989408) it’s shocking.

8. Zack wouldn’t have liked it anyway if you could’ve measured Lucy Powell’s get-me-out-of here chops.

   Kuntzburger did the usual Tory-grovel knee deep in shite-right rhetoric miscreants – geez Ben Houchin is a fucking ignorant and arrogant cunt. Oh yea and Little Ms British American Tobacco butter-wouldn’t-melt-in-my-mouth was stoking the “PA are anti-semitic” rhetoric like it was going out of fashion.

   SO BAU Tory posh tosh really.

9. Strange how he doesn’t get as much air time as the leader of an equivalent sized party, and at least his MPs didn’t defect and were voted in on the platform.

10. Wow. They’re really putting in the effort now to cut down on the Greens presence in media. This is concerning stuff.

11. I’m not sure describing this as ‘anti-green bias’ cuts it.

    I mean, there’s a clear bias in cancelling him twice, particularly this last week, but it’s not to do with him being a Green.

12. Hasn’t Laura K also previously leaked election results, and also tried to falsely accuse a Labour activist of assaulting a man at a hospital?

13. Kunsberg biased? Well I never, I mean it wasn’t obvious from the Boris arse kissing during his election campaigns. Colour me shocked. 

14. >However, Green Party sources say the BBC scrapped their interview with Polanski, which they say was pencilled in for the flagship Kuenssberg Show on Sunday, citing the need to cover last week’s Manchester synagogue terror attack.

    I dislike Kuensberg as much as the next person who’s been exposed to her type of news but the comments and behaviour here is just stupid.

    The initial event was cancelled in favour of a far more important event, covering a terror attack. Furthermore the very same article also notes that the interview will still happen, just not right now.

    If it had been any other party other than maybe the Tories, they’d have gotten the same treatment and people would have approved or at least understood. But instead it’s just screaming about bias.

    What people should understand but seemingly are incapable of these days is that there’s a time and place for normal business… and that time and place is when normal things have happened.
