Nagga Munchetty on BBC breakfast

She is nowhere near as rude as Paxman, or Marr, or Neil, or Piers Morgan.

Funny how they are seen as forthright and 'getting to the point', whilst Munchetty is rude and aggressive.

Hmmm - it’s almost as if a woman shouldn’t behave that way ?

She’s doing a difficult job well. In an interview situation both parties have their agenda and it becomes a power struggle. Good presenters need to be sharp and challenge untruths, exaggerations, and spot contradictions. Naga and Laura are both very skilled in doing this.

I agree, that interview was all about Naga. Charlie had just done an interview before and DH and I commented on what a good one it was, he was challenging, asked the right questions but let the person answer.
Not keen on Laura K either, I found her very biased in the Brexit news in recent months.

Irrespective of gender, possible political bias a good

I think she’s great like Naga a lot I don’t think she’s rude she just ain’t having someone lying to her face and good on her

Should keep to fluffy kittens Sir C...

Had anyone else noticed that she always leans away from her co presenter, very off hand or has he got terrible BO.
My least favorites presenter.

She's just plain Rude.

Naga challenges lying politicians. She doesn't give them an inch. We need more like her, and fewer creepers like Laura K.

I used to very much enjoy her but nowadays I think she is a bit self important.

Exactly jura It a shame she’s not more like the lovely girls on Sky or ITV - how dare she not take well to being lied to by our nice politicians.

doodledog I was tempted to list a few others too but then saw your post. You've said it.

What lies?!
The Breakfast presenters, including Munchetty and the nice but dim young chap on there, cannot grasp numbers.
It doesn’t matter that so many of the figures ( for nurses) are not new and counting retained nurses is perfectly ok, they know how many leave the profession in any given year so are able to work out the figures for that.
Munchetty and Co are not up to interviewing politicians, they should stick to lighter matters, which is what Breakfast tv is meant to be.
Leave it to Kuennesberg or Marr or Neil!

Davidhs yes, I have noticed that, she leans away from him with a ‘you have to be joking right?’ Kind of expression.
She has already had flak for comments on the show, and I think the expression ‘too big for her boots’ is an apt expression for her.

Yes, the nice young girls on Sky always lean in towards their male colleagues, don’t they?

The only ones who can’t grasp the numbers it seems are the Tory politicians who believe the viewers are stupid enough to fall for their nonsense.

I can`t stand her.
Me myself I springs to mind with her.

Cannot stand her. She can challenge the politicians to her heart's content. They ought to be challenged.

But towards the "ordinary" guests, there is just no need for her attitude.

I saw her interviewing a country and western band some time ago, and one of the males was using the term "ma'am" (like they do in his part of the world) when answering her questions.

TWICE she very snottily told him not to address her as ma'am. She was INCREDIBLY rude, I thought.

If I ever had the misfortune to meet her, I'd shoehorn ma'am into every sentence, just to annoy her.

Naga quite rightly pointed out politely but firmly that the “new” nursing figures are not true.

She might have done but did you not hear the very noticeable huff and sigh of irritation.
I remember once when the camera cut back onto her while she was sitting with the guys and very clearly she was heard calling a colleague useless. It's on YouTube I think

I agree completely about Naga. I don't always watch morning tele but whenever I do I dread her interviews. I don't know what charm school she went to, but she obviously failed. Having said that, I find so many interviews with politicians by virtually all the TV presenters acutely embarrassing as most of them are rude and aggressive. I couldn't stand to watch the Andrew Neil (?) ones at all. If I was a politician I would find it so difficult to keep my temper. Why ask a question if you don't want to know the answer. I get the impression that interviewers really do not want to hear what is said. The interviews are a total waste of everyone's time whereas they should be a time for us to listen and decide for ourselves if we believe them or not.

How can we decide for ourselves if their mistakes, unfounded claims, lies and half truths are not corrected by the interviewer?

I thought it was just me who couldn’t stand the woman , she gets off on winding her fellow presenters up ,she can dish it but can’t take it she gets defensive and nasty .

This morning she and Charlie were give Christmas gifts by one of the other presenters. Despite being asked not to, she strill opened it and then sneered at the contents.

As did Charlie when he opened his - and then refused to wear them and put them down the back of the sofa.

Of course, neither really sneered - they were simply having a laugh with work colleagues as we all do when we give each other rubbish presents.
