Julia Hartley Brewer stunned by Emily Maitlis BBC bias claim

Emily Maitlis has said a BBC board member is an “active agent of the Conservative party” who is shaping the broadcaster’s news output by acting “as the arbiter of BBC impartiality”. During a speech in Edinburgh, Maitlis criticised her former employer arguing the media has failed to adapt to a change in politics and was guilty of “normalising” populist ideas. She also claimed the BBC had “sought to pacify” Number 10 by issuing a swift apology following her 2020 segment about Dominic Cummings’ lockdown trip to Durham. The broadcaster received more than 20,000 complaints and ruled Maitlis breached impartiality rules, saying in a statement: “We believe the introduction we broadcast did not meet our standards of due impartiality.” Julia Hartley-Brewer mocked Emily Maitlis for her comments. "Turns out it's the Tories that have been controlling Tory bias this whole time, they haven't been doing a very good job have they." The BBC’s chief content officer has insisted that “in no way was there any influence from the Government or the board” on the BBC over its decision to rebuke Emily Maitlis over her Newsnight monologue. #talktv #talkradio
