The original complaint made to the BBC regarding Naga Munchetty’s comments about Donald Trump’s racist language also mentioned her co-host Dan Walker, it has been reported.
Original Naga Munchetty Complaint Also Made Reference To Dan Walker, Report Claims
Last week, the BBC confirmed they had rebuked Naga over comments she made on BBC Breakfast, referring to tweets Trump had posted in which he suggested four Democratic politicians should “go back” to their home countries.
Saying she was “absolutely furious” to hear the US leader making such comments, the broadcaster told co-presenter Dan Walker in July: “Every time I have been told, as a woman of colour, to go back to where I came from, that was embedded in racism.
“Now, I’m not accusing anyone of anything here, but you know what certain phrases mean.”After the BBC chose to uphold a complaint about the incident on the grounds that Naga had breached the corporation’s impartiality guidelines, The Guardian has now reported the complaint in question also made reference to her co-host.
This comes after the BBC’s Director of Editorial Policy and Standards, David Jordan said that they had not been able to include Dan Walker in their ruling because the complaint only made reference to Naga Munchetty.
The BBC told The Guardian that when the complainant in question was asked to contact the corporation’s Executive Complaints Unit with a more concise version of their grievance, only Naga’s name was mentioned.
HuffPost UK has contacted the BBC for further comment.
Jordan previously suggested there had been some “perhaps wilful misinterpretation” when it came to the reporting around the BBC’s decision.
He said: “To be honest, I think [people] need to understand the judgement on what it did say and it didn’t say, and it emphatically didn’t say that Naga Munchetty was wrong to respond to what is clearly a racist form of language, and also to the effect it will have on people like her, people of colour in the UK.”
He also clarified there had been a “large number of complaints” made to the BBC after the conversation, but only one reached their Executive Complaints Unit.The Trump tweets Naga had been responding to were written about US politicians Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley. All four are US citizens, and three of them were born in America.READ MORE...
