She was sacked for telling the truth about someone who lied and lied again!!!

Wtf

Emily Maitlis deserves the support she is receiving, however Boris & Cum need to resign with immediate effect. AdiosBorisandCum

Impartiality has to remain the cornerstone of BBCNews - the news should be reported such that we can make OUR OWN judgements maitlis

Well when the BBC is clearly in the government’s pocket, it’s not really impartial is it

She is being sacrifice to please the Tory Party. Do we live in a democracy or an elitist dicatorship? Have the BBC no balls!! She was only telling the truth. They shouldn't have stab her in the back. Shame on the BBC. I pay the licence fee 2 the BBC. I want a refund.Boycott BBC!

emilymaitliss was acting on instinct and made the personal decision in very difficult circumstances to do what she did OneRuleForOne

Her comments did break impartiality rules and the BBC must always be impartial, otherwise you will get boycotted shows like GMB and hosts giving their political views.

She's a journalist reporting the news and managed to convey exactly how the majority of the country are feeling!

Good. She deserves it. CummingsBullshit

I too will stop watching Newsnight if she leaves BBCNews

BBC fears this corrupt mendacious government, so say they will uphold 'impartiality' - but not the truth. This 'impartiality' then is a balance between hearing the truth and hearing lies?

Your headline is wrong. It should read ‘news anchor replaced for not perpetuating Tory lies’. Sub heading ‘It’s like North Korea at the BBC’

As Cummings hangs on by his finger tips with no credibility left and the vast majority of the country united against him it is maitlis that gets sanctioned ... go figure !

Journalists are supposed to be impartial! Raucous laughter

That’s good to hear at least there are some real people around who understand truth

She has bigger balls than any of them..perfect example to us all

Journalist need to report the news not comment on it. If they want to promote their own opinion then join as a guest not a presenter

She should be sacked or all the media should do a massive witch hunt at her house and protests outside, Boo for the BBC on Wednesday¡

Good. It's horseshit. was she really supposed to point out the remote possibility that Cummings behave responsibly and legally and within the rules. It's laughable that anyone would even think that

boycotttheBeeb

maitlis is a national treasure, excellent journalism and presenting, we want more of maitlis not less. bbc needs to grow a spine.

She’s dead right. If it was an ordinary person, they would probably be fined, or jailed.

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
