'An Orwellian atrocity' – Telegraph readers on the Newsnight Emily Maitlis row

BBC Newsnight presenter Emily Maitlis failed to appear on the programme on Wednesday evening after the BBC said her monologue about Dominic Cummings breached impartiality guidelines.

The things the Telegraph will stoop to for clicks.

The vast majority of younger and well educated people are anti Brexit. If a referendum was for the under 65s with A levels or above, Brexit would have been trounced.

I voted for leave , Cummings lied Simples , not even an apology he must go ☹️

She is an amazing journalist, inspiring for many. Hope she will never stop reporting the truth, we need it! 👏🏻🌷

I wish brexiteers would stop fighting the brexit battle, we have LEFT, get on and manage the consequences rather than this continual moaning about those who voted to remain, you are not a victim

Is anyone under 65 reading the Torygraph, slowly but surely the nonsense they pedal will die out

Brexit all over it...

Like the Telegraph asking for cheating card for partner at Christmas.

Really? That's why she and Newsnight portrayed Corbyn as a Russian agent?

🤣would expect nothing less from The Telegraph

Leavers/ brexiters are just as outraged by the arrogant antics of Cummings. This attempted deflection falls flat.

Stopped my direct debit to the BBC long ago.

Aren’t all intelligent people anti-brexit?

Maitlis is a left wing Remainer propagandist still fighting the EU referendum and the GE. Maitlis is opinionated rather than objective and impartial. Britain needs less of these people in our media.

.targeting her - touch of antisemitism?

Well done maitlis for triggering the Brextremists!👏

Fuck whoever wrote this

Speaking the truth is 'anti-Brexit'. You heard it here first...

...Very much looks as if maitlis is being funded by Brussels /GEORGESOROS...as opposed by the BRITISH TAXPAYER..!!!...If so should she not declare it..and step down from the BBC...

Hey, Telegraph. Do you remember when, about 20 years ago, you used to be a newspaper, rather than an extension of the spectator. Try doing some 'news' rather than being a nakedly propaganda outlet, yeah?

The BBC is pro tory

The Tories can threaten to cut the licence fee to impede free speech. I have cut my licence fee payment until I see free speech.

Cancel your TV licence, I did many months ago, no amount of threatening letters will get me to renew it either.

You mean the same channel that has its own special chair for Nigel Farage on Question Time? The channel that interviews Darren Grimes as some kind of independent commentator? This one?

Showboating media. BBC reports facts not thoughts. Media is becoming show business not fact business. Fire maitlis BBCNewsnight

Coronavirus: Emily Maitlis misses Newsnight after BBC rules Cummings coverage breached impartiality rulesThe presenter said Dominic Cummings had 'broken the rules' by going to Durham from London during lockdown. Hi from the United States, Speaking the truth isn't impartiality. The sad truth (AKA fact) is that the free press is being stifled by having to 'both sides' facts and fantasy (AKA bullshit). And yet Laura Kuenssberg is given an easy ride by her employers. This simply comes down to the BBCs fear of the government and Cummings. Kuenssberg has shown bias in their favour and therefore she is ok. Tat tah
