The BBC received almost 24,000 complaints about Emily Maitlis' comments during NewsnightCredit: EPA"He was the man, remember, who always got the public mood, he tagged the lazy label of "elite" on those who disagreed," Maitlis said of Mr Cummings during the programme's opening on May 26."He made those who struggled to keep to the rules feel like fools, and has allowed many more to assume they can no flout them.

"As it was, we believe the introduction we broadcast did not meet our standards of due impartiality. Our staff have been reminded of the guidelines." Ms Unsworth said Maitlis' comments on Mr Johnson's "blind loyalty" to Mr Cummings were inappropriate.

All staged by the tories ofc, to support cumings

And did fuck all about it.

Am yet she's still got a job.

What!!! Seriously 100% behind her....

24,000 pathetic people

How many messages of support did they get?

Glorifying abuse is worse. A lot worse.

She's paid to be a newsreader, not to give us an opinion

Maitlis is a confirmed Leftie so, how she has the cheek to masquerade as impartial is a joke.

The BBC attempt to unseat Johnson is getting pretty obvious. And they are very obsequious towards the genuflecting Starmer. This is all getting very Carrie from Homeland

All of the people that complain was Tory supporters who are two face people yet they didn't complain about boris Johnson making gay comments

EwersTerence

750,000 signatures on the 'Cummings should go' petition

only 24 thousand? They must have lost most of them

Why has she not been sacked. This isn’t the first time!

How many of the 24,000 actually watched the programme? Most of the complaints will have been in response to inaccurate and exaggerated reports in the press written by craven journalists.

Toilet Paper Rag

That would e tories complaining

Coming from a farm operated by the virus spreader?

23,500 from bots purchased by DominicCummnings

'Rant' bloody snowflakes, all she did was speak the truth

Violent protesters could be jailed within 24 hours of arrestSentences for assaulting emergency workers will also be doubled to two years under strict new rules similar to those used amid the London riots in 2011. Wonder if they'll double the sentences for Police beating black prisoners in hand cuffs... Hope thats for all, I remember passing by Whitehall and seeing ambulances being violently attacked by the extention rebellion protesters last year when they took over all the roads in and out of Trafalgar Square and the square itself, yet nothing was done. Two years in prison for traffic lights and equally serious sentences for traffic light sympathisers
