    They’re blurring her middle finger, but since it’s generally ok to show that particular finger as long as the other fingers are visible, maybe instead they should have blurred the areas on either side where the other fingers aren’t.

      I just did a quick YT search. It was literally half a second as they were coming back from break and she instantly puts on her BBC anchor face. I wouldn’t even get (more) angry with a Fox News or RT presenter for doing what she did. No biggie at all.

      They were joking around on set before the live program started, and either the festivities ran into airtime, or someone in the control room cut to her feed too soon.

      Let me provide an example which I think captures the spirit of the interaction that took place on this fateful day:

      Greg: Ay yo Jimmy boy!

      Jimmy looks up, notices his friend Greg, flips him the bird.

        Sounds about right. Similar to, hey Jimmy, Jimmy says what, Greg says fuck you.

    IF she was justified in doing it,

    THEN I’ve no problem with it.

    A bit of honesty in mass-media would be refreshing, you know??
