Furious viewers blast 'BIASED' BBC after interviewer lays into Theresa May over Brexit
LICENCE fee payers have blasted the BBC's political editor for her "biased" interview with Theresa May.
Laura Kuenssberg BLASTS UK chances of Brexit deal
Laura Kuenssberg came under fierce criticism on social media after laying into the Prime Minister over her Brexit strategy.
The journalist said Mrs May is "brutally outnumbered" by the EU's 27 other member states who want to give the UK a bad deal.
Her interviewing style angered viewers, who made their thoughts known on Twitter.
I like you, Laura, but it seems to me, you do not like Mrs May
One user, known as @TiffTools, wrote: "I see Laura Kuenssberg is busy giving opinion again instead of facts.
"We don't need to know what you think. Facts please!"
John Sullivan added: "I like you, Laura, but it seems to me, you do not like Mrs May. You are rude to her."
Laura Kuenssberg was attacked on Twitter over her interviewing style
Gordon Grove wrote: "Sick of the Biased Broadcasting Corporation talking the UK down. Kuenssberg needs sacking with her lefty bias."
And Francis Megahy tweeted: “Theresa May today revealed Ms Twitchy Kuenssberg as a rubbish interviewer.
"How did she get the job vs so many better candidates?"
The BBC's political editor has yet to respond to the criticism
But others believed the BBC reporter did not go far enough.
Alex March wrote: "Did Kuenssberg ask anything difficult there of the PM beyond whether she'd win [the General Election] by miles? Pathetic toadying."
And Dave Gray tweeted: "Why so many gaps in the interview coverage? So you can let Theresa May rehearse her next answer?"
But other viewers claimed Ms Kuenssberg went too soft on May
In response to Ms Kuenssberg's tough questioning on Brexit, Mrs May insisted she would be able to secure a favourable deal.
The PM said: "There will be 27 countries on one side and of course there is the UK negotiating for the UK.
"I believe that we can get a deal that’s good for the UK and good for the rest of the European Union."
The PM vowed to be a 'bloody difficult woman' during Brexit talks
She also warned EU chief Jean-Claude Juncker she would be a "bloody difficult woman" during negotiations with Brussels.
Mrs May said: "During the Conservative Party leadership campaign I was described by one of my colleagues as a bloody difficult woman.
"And I said at the time the next person to find that out will be Jean-Claude Juncker."
