So much @BBCWomansHour listeners might have learned & enjoyed from a decent interview with Zara Mohammed
Amazing,illuminating material & @ZaraM01 a warm, engaging guest

Raises again Q of why BBC chose white, privately-educated, right wing Barnett to revitalise #BBCWomansHour & grow audience.
What "audience" do they seek to attract ?
What does gross discourtesy (to put it kindly) towards @ZaraM01 (& @kelechnekoff ) reveal abt the team? 4/

Think of all the many diverse talents who might have been picked to present #BBCWomansHour . . .to grow audience.
What is it about BBC's talent-spotters & gatekeepers that so often they see "talent" as white, privately-educated, empathy-light, right wing?

"It’s the kind of questioning you’d expect to see journalists put to MPs on policy, rather than a Muslim woman simply celebrating her incredible achievement."

BREAKING : BBC's response to complaints about
@Emmabarnett 's interrogation of Zara Mohammed:
• describes a positive exchange and
• sets Barnett's antagonism towards @ZaraM01
in the context of @BBCWomansHour history of holding power to account
Both = misleading
