Newsnight presenter says corporation set ‘semantic conundrum’ in Trump
racism ruling
The Newsnight presenter Emily Maitlis says the
BBC is in danger of looking “massively out of touch with the real world” as a result of its critical verdict on Naga Munchetty’s comments about Donald Trump.
Speaking on Saturday in support ofMunchetty, who presents BBC Breakfast, Maitlis said the corporation’s executive complaints unit (ECU) was wrong to censure any member of staff who publicly called out racism.
