I heard this and thought that's ott but then the BBC is no longer what
it was! Personal agendas take precedence over objectivity even if you
are a Public Service Broadcaster and so the decline into irrationality
proceeds. I tried (in vain) today to see if the BBC web site was still
carrying the story of one of the most blatant breaches of PSB
regulations and ethics sadly just this year! No it had been removed nor
was any mention made of it on the BBC 6pm News. Clearly the BBC thought
that having been told off it was time to draw a line under the whole
affair! For details see https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/read-this/heres-what-emily-maitlis-said-about-dominic-cummings-and-why-she-wasnt-newsnight-last-night-2867216 which I obtained from the Scotsman since the BBC has removed it. Proof to me how weasel like much of journalism now is! Only an hour previously Sam Coates of Sky who had led much of the attack on Dom Cummings continued to pursue his? agenda of getting DC out of government by asking 2 Civil Servants 'had they been instructed not to answer questions relating to DC'. Both answered
(in my view correctly) 'that they do not do politics!' Yet this story had been running for nearly a week! And the BBC 6pm news continued with it (Laura Kuennsburg)
And Maitlis is no also ran - she is an experienced investigative journo
and has been around for many years opining and influencing - she
definitely knows the score! So weasel like is the best description of
many present day journos - time to draw a line under it all I think.
