Laura 'Tory shill' Kuenssberg?! Are you taking the fucking piss?The most blatant bias I've ever seen. Oh wait.... her & Fiona Bruce.
The only half decent journalist at the BBC is Victoria Derbyshire.
Least competent, most biased, political journalist at the BBC, itself a hotbed of poor journalism. Press Gazette demonstrating its values most clearly.
I’m guessing that this must be the same judging panel who awarded Anas “Read my lips, no austerity under Labour” Sarwar ‘Scottish Politician of the Year’ award, right? The level of irony seems very similar.
She is a Tory courtier and useless at her job, there are many other real journalists (including at the BBC - Victoria Derbyshire?) who are far more deserving of this award than this sycophantic harridan
Jeezus wept. I can think of at least 3 others better than her and actually honest and non hectoring. The judges must have just watched her interviewing Tories.
Oh do fuck off.
She is one of if not the biased, unbalanced interviewers in the U.K. watch any of her interviews with Johnson, she’s literally tickling his ego.
This is an astonishing outcome. LK is terrible and certainly not forensic. Not to mention the Johnson email "error." Remarkable. So many others more deserving (Derbyshire, anyone?). What were the judges thinking?
My goodness!, Kuennsberg is atrocious, one of the worst. So this it doesn't say much for the reputation of those on the judging panel. The media in this country well and truly in the gutter.
Laura Kuenssberg 'Never lets her subject off the hook' except when emailing them all the questions, doing zero research, being Tory biased, totally unprofessional & baffling everyone why she still has a job after so many cock-ups & earning a massive salary for being cr*p?
Totally incredible. The worst political journalist in the U.K. by far. Description of her couldn’t be further from the truth. Show how thoroughly rotten every aspect of journalism is in the U.K.
Laura Kuenssberg, Interviewer of the Year for being ‘forensic and never letting her subjects off the hook’? Was that before or after she let ministers recite press releases unchallenged on live TV?
I don't recall Tory Kuenssberg ever being anywhere near 'forensic' in any Boris Johnson interview, unless giggling like a starstruck schoolgirl at his meaningless waffle is considered 'forensic' these days!
Ridiculous call. Never has an interviewer been so bereft of the ability to generate chemistry with their subject. You are confusing 'never letting someone off the hook' with finger-jabbing, script-following, finger-wagging and a complete absence of listening and reacting to the answers she receives.
Absolute farce! Kuenssberg was once quite reasonable, but she became so obsessed with cultivating her "sources", that she lost all objectivity & independence!!
Eh? You're surely thinking of a different Laura Kuenssberg because the one on the BBC is never impartial, if she was the Tories might not have got away with 14 years of incompetence and cronysim.
I find Laura Kuenssberg to be a poor interviewer who fails to go deep and occasionally displays bias. But who am I to have an opinion vs the Luvvies who love giving accolades to their own?
‘Has two completely opposing styles depending on whether you are a Tory. Fawns over fat, lying, lazy, narcissistic guests who drop shit Greek mythology references in to interviews’

But hey, media's gonna media.
Are the judges deaf and blind?
Are the judges intellectually challenged?
This is why UK news media is so unremittingly awful.
The only half decent journalist at the BBC is Victoria Derbyshire.
What a pile of festering old shite!
As fcki g if.
Were the Judges on limitless Gak the whole time?
I'm not finding it funny though.
What a way to cheapen an award than to give it to Tory PR merchant, Kuenssberg.
Fuck off.
No, really, fuck off.
She is one of if not the biased, unbalanced interviewers in the U.K. watch any of her interviews with Johnson, she’s literally tickling his ego.
Time for a complete overhaul of British press
No wonder people don’t trust mainstream media any more if this is what journalists themselves aspire to.
Interviewer of the year. My arse!
ludicrous
Joke of the century
She’s only recently had her tongue extracted from Boris Johnson’s behind!
Kuennssberg isn't even adequate & there are far better out there including at the BBC.
🤣 ..Nice one! 👏👏👏
😂😂😂😂😂
Maybe the title was wrong and it was in fact "Tory propagandist of the year"?
Good grief. Pick any other journalist please. Anyone.
I think they were close to asking her questions about parties that she couldn't lie about, and would have had to resign.
Questions never formally asked, she reappeared and took Marr's job.
Awful pro.
Absolutely biased.
Your award carries no credibility whatsoever.
Be honest, we're giving gongs for managing not to break any electoral laws this year, right?
I won't say here what is the accolade for that particular award.
She always lets Tories off the hook and hands them excuses.
She should be sacked for extreme political bias.
Well said.
Victoria Derbyshire is a vastly superior journalist.
Wow. She was caught sending questions to her interviewee ahead of time.
fk off
Victoria Derbyshire should replace Kuenssberg.
British journalism is in an incredibly bad place right now, controlled by very few offshore individuals dictating the narratives.
We have to be much better than this
