BBC News Presenter Apologizes To Nigel Farage On Air For “Inflammatory Language” Accusation


The BBC's Geeta Guru-Murthy has apologized to Nigel Farage over remarks about a Reform UK press conference.

In a post titled How we are covering the UK General Election late last week, Turness wrote: “During a six-week campaign, with the hundreds of hours of programmes we will broadcast, and the thousands of words we will publish, it’s inevitable we will make mistakes. As Guru-Murthy was apologizing, the BBC was unveiling its election night lineup, which will be led by Laura Kuenssberg and Clive Myrie. Along with ITV, it is one of two broadcasters that will host election debates between incumbent Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and opposition leader Keir Starmer, potentially with smaller parties such as Reform UK.
