The GB News mob are calling for her head and Alastair Stewart (someone I do otherwise generally like) will be crowing on about how it wasn’t like that in his day. So opportunistic.

Without wanting to get into a debate about "cancel culture", it's quite notable that someone's reputation can be almost instantly brought crashing down these days within hours, irrespective of the broader picture - and that isn't always helped by a navel-gazing BBC. It would be a shame for Martine to resign / lose her job over this, but sadly, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the outcome this week.
I agree with you on this one and her well known views on the demise of the News Channel won't help her. She is the only presenter who goes out of her way to name check the channel right throughout her NC only shifts.
If she is found to have breached the BBC's impartiality code then I also fear the worst and what a sad day it will be so let''s hope for the best.
Like you said - someone's reputation can come crashing down as fast as it rose. She was catapulted into a household name with the way she managed the death of Prince Phillip earlier this year.
