The presenter was accused of not treating “both candidates equally when managing the debate” by some viewers.
Following this, the BBC apparently received complaints accusing the host of not treating “both candidates equally when managing the debate”.issued on the corporation’s website, the BBC has insisted that challenging or pressing a panellist was not “indicative of bias”.
The statement continued: “Treating each candidate fairly involves the right balance of courtesy and rigour, to ensure that their message is clear to the electorate too. At times, there may well be a certain amount of talking over another speaker – we try to minimise this as much as possible.
It concluded: “Viewers will no doubt expect the cut and thrust of political debate to be competitive and charged. We believe each speaker was dealt with even-handedly, and interrupted only when necessary to keep the discussion on track and ensure a response to the audience questions.”Here’s What All The UK's Major TV Channels Have Got Planned For Their Election Night Coverage
