Naga Munchetty: BBC Breakfast host scolded by bosses after sparking impartiality concerns


The BBC’s Executive Complaints Unit (ECU) had originally ruled that Naga had breached editorial guidelines when she spoke out against Trump’s comments.

Naga told The Guardian: “I hated being the story; I wanted to just get on with my job, which I did. The instinct that kicked in for me was just to keep my head down, do my job, then get home to family life, as I had always done, and it will play itself out.”

While discussing a controversial tweet from Trump, she said on the programme: “Every time I have been told, as a woman of colour, to go back to where I came from, that was embedded in racism.

“I’m not accusing anyone of anything here, but you know what certain phrases mean.

“Furious. Absolutely furious and I can imagine lots of people in this country will be feeling absolutely furious a man in that position thinks it’s okay to skirt the lines by using language like that.”
