Do you have a day at journalist school set aside for 'Shouting Questions At Politicians From Across The Road In Downing Street Despite No Chance Of Them Shouting Back An Answer'?
What's annoying me most about journalists at the moment is when they bring an expert on to the news and then either cut them off mid flow because it's time for adverts or cut them off because they clearly aren't saying what the news channel wants them to say.

It's probably the equivalent day of the course for:
Footballers - how to kick the ball into row Z from a direct free kick. Politicians - how to get away with corruption. Dentists - how to time your question about the patient's holiday for just as you shove a large instrument into their mouth.
Really winds me up. These are people at the top of their profession. As if Johnson is going to resign because Laura Kuenssberg has suddenly put the idea into his head. Grandstanding egotistical nonsense.

It’d be nice if a journo on their last day before retirement went out in style and yelled “prime minister, why are you such a c**t?”

etc etc.
"how to time your question about the patient's holiday for just as you shove a large instrument into their mouth."
There's a joke in there but blowed if I'm risking it.

Well yeah, that was rather my point. They've got little to film, and know quite well that the politician isn't going to turn round and shout an answer, so it's literally just something to fill the news with (at best) and them flexing their egos (at worst).

They had someone on 5Live this morning. A russian lady who held some position to do with russian history (i think) who I'm amazed they kept on for so long.

Sorry to say Kuenssberg is nowhere near the top of her profession. An over-indulged no-mark who should have been shipped off to Radio 8 years ago.
