Different day, different shit storm. That’s our world. This time it involves Naga Munchetty, the breakfast tv presenter of such gorgeousness that only a fellow gorge, like me, can really appreciate her. And she’s great. Clever, funny, gorgeous. And if you don’t like what she says, just turn the volume down and watch her. Like I do.
And way back in… whenever, they were discussing the famous Trump tweet to the Fab Four democrat women in which he told them to ‘go back home to their own crime-torn, shitty, grotty countries where they came from…’ Which was particularly bright, even by Trump’s really low bar standard, because 3 of the 4 were born and raised in the very same US of A that he was. That Bruce Springsteen was. That Apple Pie was.
And Naga said that whenever people told her ‘to go back where she came from’ it was ALWAYS part of a racist stereotype. Which was correct. She spoke of such experiences she’d endured, which was also correct. She said Trump’s comments were racist which was also… Well, it was also her opinion about his motivation. And THAT is what she has now been reprimanded for. Not for being anti-racist but for alluding to racist motivation in the almost brain-dead President of America. Because the BBC must always be ‘impartial’ and ascribing motivation does not apparently fit that model. You see a man inhaling three Big Macs, if you work for the beeb you do NOT assume him to have been hungry. That’s ascribing motivation and WILL NOT BE TOLERATED in the overstated tolerance of the BBC. You get it? Yeah, me too (#).
The head of the independent overseeing complaints whatever of the BBC stated that he admired Naga for her honesty and her comments but had to reprimand her. No punishment, but the reprimand for, presumably, compromising the impartiality of the BBC who, he told us, were the most inclusive, tolerant, multi-cultured, many-that-ed, super un-racist people ever.
This was all in response to just one solitary complaint. I wanna know who the complainant was. I really do. Because if that person is not him/her self a racist then he/she is simply the most pedantic, stupid, moronic person ever to watch tv. And that’s a serious competition.
I also think that the BBC complaints people should have just told this person to go fuck themselves. Impartially.
Happy Saturday
