I like watching a bit of BBC Breakfast before leaving for work (mainly for the forecast) i also like to listen to the breaking news apart from when Naga Munchetty is presenting she seems incapable of doing her job without commenting and she recently got into hot water over it for criticising Trump (see below)
Naga Munchetty breached BBC guidelines by criticising President Donald Trump for perceived racism, the corporation's complaints unit has ruled.
In July the BBC presenter took issue with comments made by the US President after he told opponents to "go back" to the "places from which they came".
The BBC said the Breakfast host was entitled to her own views but had gone "beyond what the guidelines allow for".
It said any action taken as a result of the finding would be published later.
A BBC spokeswoman said the corporation's Executive Complaints Unit [ECU] had ruled that "while Ms Munchetty was entitled to give a personal response to the phrase 'go back to your own country' as it was rooted in her own experience, overall her comments went beyond what the guidelines allow for".
It would seem she hasn't learned her lesson and today we read -
Naga Munchetty: BBC Breakfast host sorry for liking flag tweets
TV host Naga Munchetty has apologised for liking "offensive" tweets referencing a flag that appeared in an interview with a government minister.
On Thursday, she and BBC Breakfast co-host Charlie Stayt drew attention to a flag and a picture of the Queen behind Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick.
Ending the interview, Stayt jokingly mentioned the size of his union jack.
Munchetty said she had removed the likes and that they did not "represent the views" of her or the broadcaster.
"I liked tweets today that were offensive in nature about the use of the British flag as a backdrop in a government interview this morning," Munchetty posted on Twitter. "I have since removed these likes."
She added: "This do not represent the views of me or the BBC. I apologise for any offence taken."
The BBC declined to comment. In September, the corporation's incoming director general Tim Davie warned BBC staff about their use of social media.
I wonder if Tim Davie will give her another chance.
