On the day her spouse questioned her about rioting in the UK, Dame Carolyn McCall said the broadcaster received “very short notice” that the prominent politician would be appearing on Good Morning Britain.
Though thousands of people complained about the August 5 interview, she maintained it was “fair and impartial” and that the setup would not happen again.
“It was a very, very tricky morning, there was a national emergency that was almost called, and so we got very short notice that the home secretary was coming on the show,” the TV CEO stated in a speech at the Royal Television Society (RTS) London Conference.
The fact that Ofcom is not looking into these concerns because they think it’s fair, neutral, and balanced has gone unnoticed.
Would we repeat it then? No. Was it balanced, fair, and unbiased? Did they act in a professional manner as well? Indeed.
On Tuesday, Ofcom decided not to look into the over 8,000 complaints regarding Mr. Balls interrogating Ms. Cooper; some of the objections also included a conversation with Zarah Sultana, the MP for Coventry South.
