The BBC has sparked another "bias" row after Emma Barnett grilled Nigel Farage in a tense interview on BBC Radio 4 . The topics of the success of Brexit and Farage's relationship with billionaire Elon Musk came up, with Barnett being accused of a "hatchet job" against the Reform UK leader. They rushed to social media to share their fury as columnist Allison Pearson said: "Why didn’t Emma Barnett ask @Nigel_Farage about the extraordinary lead both Reform UK, and Nigel personally, have in the new You Gov poll over both the Tories and the Labour government? It’s a historic moment.
Too busy b*tching about Brexit and Musk." A follower replied: "Poor BBC , they just aren't coping well with populism (democracy)." One listener penned: "What an appalling attempted hatchet job on Nigel Farage on Radio 4’s Today programme this morning.
Typical BBC combative journalism and so rude." Another raged: "What a waste of time having @Nigel_Farage on this show if all the interviewer is going to do is show the @ BBC BIAS like a typical remoaner. Very poor quality interview, disparaging towards one of the most important UK politicians in early 21st Century.
