BBC Breakfast presenter Naga Munchetty received harsh criticism from viewers on Friday morning, as they believed she did not handle her interview appropriately with her guest Mark Killick.
The BBC is currently receiving backlash for their handling of the Martin Bashir interview with Princess Diana in 1995.
Mark Killick, who was a senior producer on Panorama at the time, believed the recent report shows Martin Bashir’s behaviour was “dishonest” and the BBC’s investigation was “incompetent”.
On Friday, journalist Naga interviewed Mark regarding the current situation, but many viewers believed she came across fairly rude.

During the interview Mark described some of his time working at the BBC and claimed that Martin Bashir had “forged documents” and also “lied” in order to secure his interview with the Princess.
When Mark addressed his claims to management, he was told that they only wanted “loyal” people to work for the organisation and was let go as result.
Naga seemed to be fairly cold with her response to the whistle-blower’s claims and asked Mark: “When was that?”
But viewers were not feeling Naga’s brash approach and took their complaints to Twitter.

One viewer penned: “Naga doing a sterling job of defending the BBC in her interview with Mark Killick on Dyson report. Terrible bias.”
Another viewer said: “Why is Naga grilling a BBC reporter, the BBC failed get over it stop trying to pass the blame.”
A third penned: “What is wrong with Naga this morning? Asking weird wooden questions????? Is it because she is talking about the BBC and doesn’t want to get sacked?”
“Naga’s attitude is being rude. The BBC was wrong,” a fourth unhappy viewer chimed.
Mark has previously shared his honest views regarding the BBC to PA news agency and said: “When the BBC dismissed us, run a smear campaign and then the cover up, lots and lots of people in the BBC at the time knew that.
“And it sent a message to the whole of the BBC staff – don’t whistleblow if there’s a problem with the BBC. If you do you could lose your job.”
