It just gets weirder:
They really are clueless in their manufactured establishment bubble. Just check out this part of the interview with Press Gazette:
‘While her coverage of Brexit has won her acclaim, Kuenssberg’s reports on embattled Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn have earned her critics, largely from Corbyn’s fervent supporter base.
Chuka Umunna, MP for Streatham in London, was one of a number of Labour politicians who said the claims of bias against Kuenssberg were “utter garbage”.
Kuenssberg is stoic about the matter when asked. “Politics is a tough business and I’m not going to get into that,” she said.
EU referendum coverage in the national press was strongly biased in favour of Brexit.
Kuennsberg feels the BBC has an important role to play in terms of providing balanced coverage.
She said: “Among the many jewels and gifts that the BBC has is our editorial independence which we get because people participate in us.
“Everybody has to be part of the BBC because everybody has to pay for it. That is our precious jewel and I guard nothing more important than our impartiality.
“Marvellously in the British press people want to read polemic, they want to read stuff that provokes them, they want to read stuff they agree with, they want to read stuff they disagree with, they want to enjoy all the fantastic variety of goods we have to feast on in the British press and I wouldn’t change that for a second.
“At the Beeb we know we’ve got responsibility to be there for everyone and that’s why we’re there.
“I was a BBC trainee so if you cut me in half I’d have the whole thing through me like a stick of rock.
“I would die in a ditch for the impartiality of the BBC. That’s what we do. And if you go to any country around the world they would say that we were lucky to have it and of course I agree.”’
