The BBC said Maitlis wrongly suggested that everyone in the country shared the same views on Dominic Cummings

The BBC has doubled down on its censure of Emily Maitlis by saying she had “overstepped the mark” in her Newsnight monologue, after the corporation was flooded with complaints about her treatment.

I'm guessing the only person who doesn't share that view of Cummings is Boris?

SHE GOT IT WRONG Cummings Gove Johnson ( he does but is scared to ) few Tories don't want him to go. But most of the people DO WANT HIM TO GO.

Relax it’s not the end of the world .......

Fuck the BBC. It is an fit to be a Broadcasting Stration. The management of the BBC are so corrupt they should be prosecuted.

Yes we did

well boris seem's to think wrongly that everyone in the country share's is view's, when he is busking along,talking pigshit,telling bare faced lie's. to the whole population of the uk everytime he appears in public.

Tarnished ... - Network Presenter of the Year at the RTA Television Journalism Awards - Royal Television Society Award ... & Frosty the Snowman ... ? 🏆 ☃️

Wouldn't want her as a judge your guilty before you speak what's happening to being impartial

She did. I don't share her views.

She did. Not by much. Probably no worse than DCs failings.

lindi_bram It's a nothing story the police aren't interested and nor should we be. The MSN have behaved appallingly.

What does that even mean “everyone in the country”? Have you done a poll? What we do know as a given is everyone in the country shares a want for the truth and since her statement was of factual truth, she therefore spoke for everyone.

I certainly don’t share her view, and regardless of what she ‘thought’, she shouldn’t have said it. The media are inciting much of the hatred towards DC. The ‘offence’ was no different to what thousands of others have done. It was stupid, but not deserving of such a vendetta.

I suppose it’s all about how REASONABLE you are. I’m not getting bent out of shape over nonsense. She sure does NOT speak for me. IMO most of these journalist types believe they are ALL KNOWING and it’s worse when they have an audience...

Because like Maitlis we all have a £7million property portfolio, are married to a millionaire and earn ten times the average wage. There was absolutely no justification for her personal views introducing Newsnight and she should be reprimanded.

In Brazil the BBC spreads fake News about President Jair Bolsonaro. We have a supreme federal court that defends the interests of criminals.

Completely wrong, what is also clear from this is that the BBC actually doesnt have any governance over programme content, either that or they are ok with what Maitlis said

Another presstitute bites the dust hopefully the rest of communist msm to follow. Stop funding the BBC the British Brainwashing Coronation.

BBC people are arrogant snobs who smugly think everything they think is right. You can tell the way they talk that they've all led sheltered lives & live in very upper middle class areas, so have no clue of real life. It's disappointing how far the BBC standard has fallen

In BBC speak she should have said 'Other views are available' and then it would have been alright !

This woman is a disgrace to all 'real' journalists, she has absolutely no idea of how to deliver a story in an UNBIASED manner. The Public don't need to hear her opinions we will make our own minds up!

Klopt, 2 deden dat niet nl. Johnson en Cummings

Presumably anyone who oversteps the will be sacked? That seems to be the overriding message from the BBC for Mr Cummings!

Yep.... Don't know any sane person who supports him 👍

For stating facts?

Maybe not everyone but certainly the majority.

Now leave her alone, and Cummings for that matter! And hold the elected to account.

She also said DC was guilty of breaking the law when there was an ongoing police investigation - which ultimately found that he was innocent.

The woman, is a idiot.

Sunpoches She didn't suggest anything she stated it !!

When 1degreeofseparation ‘says’ spirals to farce.

So many reasons not to pay the BBC licence fee. Maitlis is one of the reasons

She is of the left. She takes my money as a tv tax paper.. She has no purpose. Do not give this apology for a professional the oxygen of publicity

But she never said that. Did she?

She should resign in protest

Not my interpretation

Why cant you fkrs put free to read on some of your articles like the FT does to save ppl wasting their time. Not everyone wants to sign up to every online news publication there is

“Dominic Cummings broke the rules. The country can see that and it’s shocked the Government cannot. “ The only thing that is really a little dubious is if the Government can see it or if it’s ideological stance on virtually everything blinds themselves to reality. I doubt it.

We do.

48% share her view

Looks like rather a lot agree with emilymaitliss

She definitely overstepped the mark by suggesting that everyone in the country shared the same views on Dominic Cummings; there were TWO who agreed with him!!

Of course everyone didn’t......there were about 3 at the head of our government who agreed with him. Pretty sure the rest of us think Emily is spot on.

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

Emily Maitlis: Newsnight host breaks silence on her BBC show replacement after controversyEMILY MAITLIS has broken her silence to address the controversy surrounding her absence from BBC show Newsnight last night, following the comments she made about Dominic Cummings on Tuesday night. She should read the gospel and become more godly and less political like so many in the higher echelons of society. Atheism is destroying the ideas of justice and fairness and righteousness.
