I watched her interviewing a politian this morning. From the start she was rude and abrupt. Then she gave very audible huff and sigh. Is she not supposed to interview with impartiality? She is just so rude and opinionated.

Irrespective of gender, possible political bias a good

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.

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.

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

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.

Sometimes when Charles is talking to her she draws her head back. It's like she can't stand the smell
I agree she should question politian but she is too rude.

I always see what Laura Kuenssberg has to say on the news because she summarises the current situation very neatly and then suggests what might happen next. And it's all done so clearly and with no waffle.

I admire both Naga (one G) and Laura Kuenssberg. They both strike me as having really sharp brains and being extremely articulate, which are desirable qualities as far as I’m concerned. I agree that Naga can be a bit sharp at times - I don’t think she suffers fools gladly! - but she’s only doing what I’d like to do. I also think she’s very beautiful, though I suppose that’s not relevant.

I agree with the majority of you all, she is rude and aggressive. I have also seen her disrespectful to her co presenters as well. Sh has rolled her eyes at Charlie on a few I occasions when she obviously didn’t agree with something he said. I’ve started not watching BBC Breakfast when she’s presenting now.

SirChenjin Thu 19-Dec-19 14:56:29

I agree Granny - that’s as it should be. Far too many lies being told at the moment and too many excuses made - none of us would tolerate that level of half truths or downright lies from our bank or our car dealer or our doctor or our accountant.

''I feel a bitch slap coming on.'' - honestly meryl, wow, how lovely, woman to woman sad

jura2 Thu 19-Dec-19 14:52:09

oh yea, jaylucy, give me Nagga 1000s times over the awful Laura.

GrannyGravy13 Thu 19-Dec-19 14:48:40

I have no problem with politicians being “grilled” by presenters, as long as all political parties are subjected to an equal “grilling”

SirChenjin Thu 19-Dec-19 14:16:06

She wasn’t giving her opinion, she was challenging the lies being spouted by a politician. Think of it as fact checking - expect to see a lot more of it and rightly so.

love0c Thu 19-Dec-19 14:06:37

She was downright rude. She should not be giving her opinion. She will be allowed to continue by the BBC. In my opinion her contract should be ended. Terrible personality and terrible interviewer, in my opinion.

SirChenjin Thu 19-Dec-19 13:18:33

A what coming on???

What a revolting expression.

MerylStreep Thu 19-Dec-19 13:14:31

Can't stand the woman. Every time she does the false laugh I feel a bitch slap coming on.
Charley must be saint to work with her.

Oldandverygrey Thu 19-Dec-19 13:02:24

I cant stand the woman.

SirChenjin Thu 19-Dec-19 12:59:24

She challenged a lying politician - good for her, we need more like her. If they don’t want to be challenged then they know what to do.

merlotgran Thu 19-Dec-19 12:47:59

One word sums up Naga Munchetty. Sneery!

I like Laura Kuenssberg though. Professional, confident and sticks to the point.

Jump88 Thu 19-Dec-19 12:43:30

I love Naga! Didn't see this interview but I think she's great.

cangran Thu 19-Dec-19 12:20:51

The conservative mp dodged her questions and made up figures on NHS staffing. 19k in post staff + 21k new nurses does not = 50k new jobs. I don't like interviewers interrupting politicians constantly but, when they lie, why should they not be challenged?

Pudding123 Thu 19-Dec-19 11:48:31

I have always thought she was downright rude to her fellow presenters as well,imo very rude and fulll of herself.

Millie22 Thu 19-Dec-19 11:33:44

Awful woman and she can't dance either.

Anannymous Thu 19-Dec-19 10:54:00

I saw the interview this morning and thought she was rude. Politicians deserve a grilling but she was downright rude.
