WATCH: ‘Impartial’ BBC Reporter Hugs Ukrainian President Zelensky
Breitbart ^ | 02-09-2023 | KURT ZINDULKA

In an apparent breach of the BBC’s impartiality code of conduct, a reporter for Britain’s public-funded broadcaster embraced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in a hug at a press conference on Wednesday afternoon.

During a visit to a military camp in Dorset, England alongside British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, President Volodymyr Zelensky was greeted with seemingly fawning admiration by a reporter from BBC Ukraine, Natalia Goncharova.

When called upon to ask a question of the two leaders, rather than questioning President Zelesnky on the critical issues of the day, including his demand for Western leaders to supply fighter jets, BBC journalist Goncharova instead asked whether she could give the Ukrainian president a hug.

“Journalism” is a sick joke.

Here is a “reporter” with ties to the Clinton Crime Family overtly helping Barack Hussein get out of a major gaffe:

Oleksii Reznikov Ukraine Defense Minister Jan. 2023: “We have a lot of modern, NATO, standard weaponry. It means that Ukraine as a country, and the armed forces of Ukraine, or our sector of security and defense became the member of NATO de facto, not de jure, because we have the weaponry, because we have the interoperability level of the communication with our partners, and I’m sure that in the next future we will become a member of NATO de jure.”

BBC Reporter: “Well, that’s a controversial statement. You’re saying that Ukraine is de facto a NATO member.”

Reznikov: “Why controversial? It’s true. It’s a fact. I’m a lawyer, you know, I’m operating with the facts.”

The BBC, who gave the world Jimmy Savile.

She can hug me too. Especially if she brings me a tank. ;-)

(Just kidding about the tank.)

What is it about the left, loving Z like they do? Do they know that B owes Z big time, and so they worship Z?

Why did so many congressjerks stand and applaud like drunken seals for Z?

I don’t mind bias so much if it is out in the open, and not “nasty”, vs. pretend impartiality.

Did she ask a good question?

Vid here, but I can’t translate:

Z-man didn’t run, he asked for guns.

That’s not a left-right thing: At least at one point, Republican voters polled and describing themselves as “conservative” were the single largest block of people supporting INCREASED arms shipments to Ukraine.

She said she knew Zelensky from her days working in video production in Ukraine ....
Goncharova has been working for the BBC for a week. She came with her child as part of the Ukrainian sponsorship program that lets women and children live in the UK.

Don't forget Rush pointing out the feminazi journalist babe Nina Burleigh offered in 1998 to give Clinton a Lewinski if he supported abortion.
