BBC Morning News Presenters

In the morning, before work and school runs my dh and I watch the news. We flick between bbc and sky but mainly like sky as I like the presenters. Does anyone else find Dan and Louise annoying (on BBC). I find him smug and vomit making and Louise laughs at everything he says.

I like Dan and Louise (Dan makes me laugh too, so it's not just Louise Minchin that finds him amusing), but when Charlie Stayt and Naga Mucnhetty are on, I always get the impression that he doesn't much care for Naga.

He often seems quite offhand, bordering on rude, to her.

When I found out how many thousands of pounds they were being paid to chat shit I went right off all of them.

I can't watch it. They appear to only be able to speak one sentence at a time, and the constant alternating drives me insane. I can even watch Piers Morgan instead of BBC, and he's a complete twat 90% of the time. The other 10% can be when interviewing a tricky guest.

I haven't watched BBC since Dan 'took over' - he's rubbish.

I like Louise.

The presenters on Breakfast are really boring. Dan Walker in particular.

I like them all and I think they're good at what they do. I've seen it done very badly and you don't appreciate the skill when it's done well.
I agree Piers Morgan can do a sharp interview but is mostly annoying.

DH and I switched to ITV this morning as they were the only channel that seemed to have more interesting items than the new royal birth.
Despite Piers Morgan being vaguely irritating the news items and issues that they tackled were more informative and interesting.

I can't deal with any BBC morning news programme. They are all such drivel.

It's a bad day for journalism when Sky looks better than the Beeb.

I love Piers, he usually makes me smile.

I don't like Dan - he makes everything about him.
He is always on his phone.
He never lets the sports presenters do their job - always steals the headline and then talks over the rest of the story. If he wanted to stay a sports presenter that's what he should do, and let someone decent take over.

patstar · 24/04/2018 15:05

Seeline - agree, agree, agree

I like Louise but she tends to gabble.Dan is funny but he makes everything about him.
Naga I can't stand. Iv seen the snotty superior looks she gives other presenters. And she wears some strange outfits. Like that god awful top covered in eyes
