Clarity of message.? Is that the actual wording used? If so, that’s being clever.You could interpret that as them saying they deliver messages clearly, rather than the message content actually conveying clarity about the situation..
There is that. But that's how she operates. She gets fed information by Govt and she passes it on undigested. Where do you think that information about what Johnson will say came from? It'll be direct from the No 10 Comms team!That is 100% NOT how the BBC political editor should operate. Yes she needs to be well connected and get inside info. But she should be a filter. A prism. Breaking up the information and analysing it.

And probably have the same intended target audience.
Apart from the fear and outrage agendas that I have spoken about before. Reporting in the country has moved from reporting fact to reporting opinion and feeling, listen to the questions asked at the conferences

Reporting in the country has moved from reporting fact to reporting opinion and feeling, listen to the questions asked at the conferences Ldr.I'm not sure if that was in response to my posts, so forgive me if I've misread.If it was, it misses the point. Kuenssberg here is not reporting "fact" or "opinion". She's acting as a conduit whereby, through her No10 controls the news agenda. What a political editor SHOULD do is, yes, report facts but dissect them. Analyse them in light of other issues. Look at what they mean for likely policy implications. How they fit with political objectives. What the consequences are likely to be.In doing that, she should be synthesising information from several sources and helping the reader make sense of complex situations.Kuenssberg rarely does any of that. She just repeats what somebody in No10 has whispered to her.
