Bosh! Hope they make her read every complaint, think she'll get quite a few!
This was my favourite bit of my complaint:
Just this week the BBC has been reporting on the effects of online trolling and how damaging they can be to the individual. Either Kuenssberg knew very well that her announcing his account to her 1m+ followers would result in vicious dogpiling from right wing trolls or she is so out of touch with the modern world and political environment that she naively thought it would simply highlight who he was to the public with no further repercussions. If it's the former she is an absolute disgrace and should not be in her position. If it's the latter she is an absolute embarrassment and should not be in her position.
Westminster Politics

Meanwhile...
JOHNSON: "Get Pexbo!"
KUENSSBERG: "Jawohl, mein Fuhrer!"
JOHNSON: "Get Pexbo!"
KUENSSBERG: "Jawohl, mein Fuhrer!"
PEXBO: “Wahhhh, I’m telling on you!”
"There's no press here!"
Has our Laura got a fag on there?
Only to blow the smoke up his arse.
I can understand mentioning that he's a labour activist. But for the life of me I can't understand why she'd share his twitter handle. How fecking irresponsible is that? That's almost doxxing.
Conspiracy theorists out again.

Tweet 2:
ie, this thing happened, here's the person who did it, and here's what he says about it. You know, reporting.
I mean, that so bad? Really?

It's one of Boris's fags from Eton.
"If she smokes, she pokes"
Thats what was going through Johnson head in that photo.

I don't think there was a need to share his Twitter handle. Twitter being full of special angry people tends to lead to an inbox full of bile.
Yeah just because you wank over her doesn't make this situation any better. Also she isn't even in the hospital but somewhere else watching it on the telly ?
This how the story should be reported

The best way to understand that your view is biased and hypocritical is to read @Pexbo post above, or this news article: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-49740135
BBC News At Ten
She's simply sharing a status he chose to put out. He made himself known to be that guy and put out his own tweet on the incident, she's done nothing wrong than to report it as part of her news.
I haven't been following the general political climate as closely as some on this thread so maybe there's something I'm missing. But I'd like to learn why this reporter from BBC is so avidly hated on here, or why she's deemed biased etc.
I've complained to the BBC about Kuenssberg too.
Never done it before and it probably won't mean anything but they need to know how many people think she's a disgrace.

My complaint to the BBC received this reply:
For me it was unnecessary to share his Twitter handle. I don't think she deserves to be sacked over it but in today's climate it could cause some problems.
The BBC isn't biased at all though, it's a claim levied at it by people on all sides which for me suggests it is fair.
And I guess she's hated because she doesn't crucify the Tory's at every chance. All part of this petty politics culture that plagues the world.
Yeah. I'm really trying to understand politics and party views properly but whatever I read has an angle. I thought on paper Lib Dems are fine because they aren't ultra right or left. And then on the caf I find the general view is that Swindon is a pussy bitch and no one likes Lib Dems either.
Basically all parties suck and were fecked!
I am a big believer that voting is important and we all should vote but as you say, the options are dreadful right now. I don't know how anyone can defend any of them to be perfectly honest.
For me, I focus on the issues local to me and vote accordingly.
The BBC in general may not be biased but Kuenssberg is blatantly biased towards BJ, it’s not even hidden nowadays.
You’re taking your stance because you are also pro BJ.
Kuenssberg might as well wear a fecking I Love Boris T shirt whenever she's reporting.
It's ridiculous.
It's ridiculous.
I'm not pro Johnson though. Nor am I anti-Johnson.
Hold on, he is at the centre of the story - quoting his words about the incident, which he has published himself to the world on twitter, is totally valid.
A new poll in Scotland shows a large majority wanting to stay as part of the UK

I'm not calling for to be strung up or anything, I just think in this day and age it isn't a sensible thing to do.
Putting aside your tedious ad hominem, you are just wrong about this, unsurprisingly. She quoted the incident, then what he said about the incident. He is at the centre of the story, so his tweets about the event are newsworthy. That he made the statement on twitter is neither here nor there, and that she chose to embed the tweet as a way of quoting, is also neither here nor there.
What exactly, in any of her tweets is inaccurate or out of context?
The BBC will chunk any complaints in the bin and you lot need to stop seeing conspiracies that aren't there.
It doesn't matter if it's sensible. It's her job.
I'm not commenting on this particular event, but Andrew Neil had an amusing way of inviting comments and complaints.
I’m getting gateway timeouts now when I try to make an online complaint
She's not gonna shag you mate.
Before!!!? Is this a parody? I got caught out with one of those before.
She lost all credibility a long long time ago.

Oh, its definitely biased towards the Conservatives now. David Cameron made sure of that. I suggest you look into the changes he made.
Prior to 2010 I'd say it had a slight left bias. Now its is extreme right.
I agree largely, but they are still very left leaning on most social issues.
Their treatment of Corbyn has been a disgrace since he came to power though. Watch how often they get someone in to tell us what Corbyn said, and how it was so scandalous. Rather than actually show what he said in his own words.
Then there's people like IDS, Davies, and the rest of the brexiteers, who get a really easy ride from the majority of interviewers.
I agree on the last point but I don't think that's intentional bias, I think it's a lack of high class interviewers, people with a grasp of technical detail.
I occasionally read The Telegraph's comments, mostly because they wind me the feck up, and the number of nutters there who think the BBC is biased even outweighs the number of people on here who think that. So on the whole, I guess they are probably doing the best they can.
Hey come on I was just saying a fact. You do love facts, don't you ?
Oh right so your not even listening to whats been discussed then. No one is saying Kaenssburg has lied or been inaccurate but that she has massively abuse the power she has as a political editor and is actively protecting Boris Johnstone.
I didn't know part of the job description for the BBC political editor was to post the twitter profiles of british citizens to their million plus followers online while sitting around the house. His tweets have nothing to do with story, let alone so indispensable to again actively report his account to over million people(The same goes for him being a Labour activist). Was the Itv tweet poor reporting for you ?
Kaenssburg is political editor for one of the largest news organisations in the world, that carries quite a bit of responsibility. (Just on a common sense level, the guy is in hospital with a sick child, he doesn't need a ton of abusive right wing tweets and possibly death threats)
Yeah saying one of the biggest news organisations in the world which is funded by the British tax payer won't give any attention to criticism/complaints isn't the own you think it is.
As for conspiracy theories.

Left leaning with comedy possibly. I could compromise there.
But the serious politics division is definitely right leaning. Some key structural changes haven't helped. But it's a concerted effort across most of the organisation.
