At the end of my tether
From anecdotal evidence that I hear, she is the most reviled reporter on T v .. She has the knack of winding up interviewees and getting under the viewer's skin.
She has been around a bit,BBC to ITV back to the BBC. Her Wikipedia page shows she has survived several complaints of bias.

Personally, I dislike her reports intensely.

Au contraire.....
I find her mouth fascinating and cannot take my eyes off it. It has a mind of its own and doesn't abide by regular movement. Every time I see John Pienaar, I think its Willie Thorne covering politics and Nick Robinson can only be Sgt Bilko.

Surely John Pienaar is Mr Potato Head...........

............ but I do think he is very, very good.

Clearly pro Labour. Unbiased she is not

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaa

I think you must thinking of a different Laura Kuessberg. The one at the BBC has been found guilty as charged, of breaking the impartiality and accuracy guidelines after deliberately misrepresenting the Labour leader's comments.

The Trust found his views were misrepresented but there was no evidence of bias or intent by Kuenssburg.

Chinny ****ing reckon
For the best part of 3 years NSC has be hijacked by rabid political and racist debates.

The same threads.
The same posters
All saying EXACTLY the same things.

Nothing has changed, nobody has been 'informed', not one political opinion has budged an inch.


So it's about bloody time one of these threads has finally unearthed some nuanced political discourse.
Thanks hans, it would appear you have proven the monkey/Shakespeare analogy to be correct.

Good grief. :facepalm:

Let's face it, most London/Manchester based, middle class folk at organisations such as the BBC would personally be very Remain. Can you really see them voting any other way? With a loud mouth like Kuenssberg and her rude monologue 'interviewing' technique ... perhaps it does subliminally come through.

(I voted Remain, before I'm accused of being a paranoid Brexiteer!)

:facepalm: This is why I hardly ever post on this site anymore. You don't think she is pro remain ? Good grief x 2

Usual " intellects " who think they know everything about everything and generally insult others who do not " get it "

Refreshing to see after all these years nothing has changed

She's an establishment shill. An upper-class tw@t extraordinaire.

I can't vouch for every factoid in this piece but it's definitely worth a look if you're interested, and not too long:

https://theswamp.media/laura-kuenssberg

Awfully written piece, a lot of dubious facts with very little point.
I wasn't a fan of Ms Kuennsberg as she seemed very right wing anti corbyn. But it's obvious she's just a (very good) BBC headline writer - as soon as May's calamitous campaign ended she dug her claws firmly into May and has done ever since, hardly mentioning Labour.
She's good at her job, that being a slightly tabloid political headline writer for the BBC. Pure click bait. Left or right, where the news is.

Back to the awful article, she might have been born into money, but that hasn't stopped her brother working for our local council.

I completely disagree. She's a cringe-worthy self-publicist. A grinning tool of the establishment. And if you think the purpose of a publicly funded reporter is to provide 'click bait' then I would suggest that you are sorely misguided as to the nature of public broadcasting. Yes, that site consists largely of crowd-sourced articles of dubious quality but that doesn't stop many of the points made in the article being true. And as for her brother's job? Relevance? I don't see any.

Laura came round for Christmas drinks once with her husband, a neighbour brought them along, but I was too busy with the mulled wine and minced pies to speak to her! The missus said she was a journo, perfectly normal/friendly and not happy with her job. A couple of weeks later there she was on the TV. OMG. Just think of the influence I could have had on world events ... ha ha.
Read an interview somewhere that said it was not clear what her actual personal political views are.
