No one cheered louder than me when Johnson threw in the towel. But this person should no longer have a job with a news broadcaster which has to be seen to be impartial.
I’d have said the same had her laughter been at the expense of Corbyn. [Post edited 24 Oct 2022 11:09]

Because the BBC caved in (again) to an orchestrated attack from the Tory Party.
You appear to have been a part of that.
Hmmm indeed.
You still think she should be sacked? |  | | |

Oof, ‘ave it!

Quite right too. Although the BBC is clearly a woke, leftist organisation, and they generally do a poor job of masking that anyway.
Should be sold off for privatisation like C4. Some capitalists in charge would sweep out the marxists. [Post edited 24 Oct 2022 14:38]

You only need to take a quick look at the BBC board to dismiss that statement.
The chair is a former senior director in various major finance companies.
Other members include a VP of Pepsi, a venture capitalist, a bloke who is an editorial advisor at GB News and who was a communications director for a conservative government, another CEO fom the finance industry and the CEO of news and current affairs was president of NBC News.
A bunch of lefties they are not
And until recently the two most senior political editors at the BBC were Laura K, who was constantly in trouble for her open conservative bias, infamously calling Boris Johnson's victory 'richly deserved', and falsely reporting that a labour activist had punched Chris Ayling, and Nick Robinson, former president of the Oxford conservative association |  |

Did anyone get suspended when Newsnight had a backdrop of Corbyn in a Russian hat in Red Square?
To be clear, this was at the time that the Tory Party was heavily funded by Russian oligarchs and they were busy hiding evidence of Russian interference in the 2016 referendum (the report eventually published after the 2019 GE). | | | |

Absolutely. It's next to impossible not to fall for a bit of fake news now and again. Hold your hand up asap is my policy.

Eh? I said she was unprofessional - got a bit overexcited.
The newsroom was about to get busy on her shift.
Your stance is rather ruined by your failure to address any of the points that have been made to you.
Basically, management have a word? Yes. Sack her as desired by the OP and co-ordinated tory pile on? No. | | | |

"Are you ever wrong" seems to be the new default response on here when certain people don't want to debate the actual points of a post.

One of the most amusing things about Johnson is his willingness to make complete fools of his acolytes. Rees Mogg, Zahawi; made to look like complete fools. | | | |

There's no evidence she was gleeful about Johnson declaring he's out, as many others in the thread have said. The BBC have suspended her while they investigate what she meant, that doesn't mean she's guilty. |  |

It’s a very poor comparison - but a few years ago there was a clip that lasted around ten seconds showing Jonathan Douglas running up-and-down like an unfit grandad. It made him look ridiculous and was probably quite hurtful for him but people lapped it up. In the greater context of that match his movement probably wouldn’t have looked ridiculous.
In the bigger context of that show (which I haven’t watched) another poster stated that the presenter was happy as something had happened on air at the expense of the printed press which she stated were now out-of-date.
Maybe she is guilty of impartiality or maybe the clip just shows her in a bad light - some posters are happy to plunge in the knife without knowing the full facts. | | | |

Yes I have seen the full clip. And a later clip where one of the paper reviewers took the puss out if Johnson and she started giggling like a school girl, followed by “ I'm sorry, I'm probably breaking some impartiality rule here by giggling”.
She didn’t say she was getting over excited or unprofessional . She said she was probably breaking some impartiality rule.
Look, had that been Corbyn then you would have been the first person on here crying like a baby and saying he was the most smeared position in the world. And I’d have supported you because people working for the BBC always have to appear to be impartial. No matter what their own personal views.
I laughed my nuts off when Johnson withdrew. I’m sure you did. We do not work in the news dept of the BBC. | |

I've watched the full show. You could certainly read it as excited because so much is happening - literally live. She even talks about that - about how the "wind is almost blowing your hair back" metaphorically, and the headlines have all changed (they don't even have the new ones as she goes to air).There's literally zero evidence that she was gleeful because Boris had decided not to run. Absolutely none.
She also giggles later in the show when one of the journalists says that Johnson's ego is so big he probably thinks he can be king of the world and will win the American election in 2024. That guy was definitely biased, but he's not a BBC journalist. Martine was just laughing at a joke he made, not personally dissing Boris herself.
The BBC have to be seen to be doing the right thing, so have taken her off air while they investigate. I imagine in that investigation she'll confirm she was excited about so much happening, but will admit she was unprofessional, will apologise and be back on the air again. But by then the damage will be done in some eyes.
We all know Glassers loves a good smear though. [Post edited 25 Oct 2022 8:25]

I saw it myself Glassers. I bet you didn't watch the full thing before you excitedly posted your OP did you?
Yes she does say that - she acknowledges she's been unprofessional - but she's naturally laughing at a joke told by the journalist who said Johnson's ego is so big he probably thinks he can be king of the world and will win the US election in 2024. However funny you think that is, it's understandable that someone could laugh at that. And it doesn't mean she's dissing Boris herself.
You went in hard with your OP, got embarrassed by the responses on here THEN watched the full show, but still decided to double down because she said the word "impartiality". Embarrassing. | |
