Andrew Marr\u2019s Editor Explains On-Air Thumbs-Up To Minister Penny Mordaunt Was ‘Polite And Human’<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Andrew Marr<\/a> was \u201cbeing polite\u201d to Conservative minister Penny Mordaunt because he is an \u201cactual human\u201d, the editor of the BBC\u2019s flagship politics programme has said after an unguarded on-air thumbs-up prompted a rash of online conspiracy theories.<\/p>\n

Mordaunt, the International Development Secretary, was appearing on the Sunday morning programme to discuss the sexual misconduct allegations against Oxfam workers.<\/p>\n

As the interview turned to Brexit at its conclusion, the Cabinet minister insisted she was still \u201cchipper\u201d about the process.<\/p>\n

As he handed over to Nick Campbell for a preview of the next show, Marr appeared to give Mordaunt a thumbs-up and tell her \u201cthat was very good\u201d.<\/p>\n

The gaffe was picked up by many watching on Twitter.<\/h4>\n

Did Andrew Marr just turn to @PennyMordaunt<\/a> at the end of this interview on @MarrShow<\/a> and whisper \u201cthat was very good\u201d!!!!!! pic.twitter.com\/gXjQnAFxbL<\/a><\/p>\n

What looked to be an unfortunate error was swiftly ramped up to something more conspiratorial.<\/p>\n

Some suggested it showed senior BBC journalists were being soft with the Conservative government over Brexit.<\/p>\n

The \u2018alt-left\u2019 blog The Skwawkbox, which has made repeated claims of BBC bias, was at the vanguard of the criticism.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Journalists who don\u2019t work for the BBC made clear Marr was engaging in fairly standard practice.<\/h4>\n
\n
\n

Oh god. This is normal. It\u2019s normal for a presenter to say \u201cthat was very good\u201d to ANY guest, even if they\u2019ve just worked them over. He\u2019s being polite. t.co\/F6bLNCxjg3<\/a><\/p>\n

Those who are saying this is a “sign” the BBC and Tories are too close – it doesn’t confirm anything of the sort. It’s just basic courtesy. I’ve done plenty of media and interviewers often say something like that to thank you – even if they haven’t met you before. t.co\/PLnSObcWRR<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Louise Ridley (@LouiseRidley) February 11, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

As did existing and former senior BBC broadcasters.\u00a0<\/h4>\n
\n
\n

Just to be clear about Marr giving Penny Mordaunt a thumbs up after her interview \u201cv good\u201d this is NOT unusual or a sign of bias. I\u2019ve done it myself to politicians of left & right loads of times and it is simply like shaking hands at the end of a match. Means zilch politically<\/p>\n

But it was the Editor of The Andrew Marr Show, Rob Burley, who went to greatest effort to explain – throughout Sunday – what had happened.<\/h4>\n

Burley has previously spoken to HuffPost UK<\/a> about the repeated accusations of \u2018#BBCbias<\/a>\u2019 politics shows face.<\/p>\n

He argues that licence fee payers are \u201cabsolutely entitled to express opinions, express a view, question or criticise\u201d, but that he won\u2019t ignore a mis-characterisation.<\/p>\n

This appeared to be the case on Sunday as Burley tweeted repeatedly about how Marr was acting \u201csuspiciously like a human being\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Well, first up judge the interview itself which was very firm. Second, because of the orthodoxy of all this you wouldn’t ideally do that on air. But it’s a bit silly though I understand why. Third, AM thought off air so just being nice, he thought, off air. t.co\/P11no4naYT<\/a><\/p>\n
