ITV’S NEW breakfast show has been criticised for its uninspiring set, lacklustre interviews and pro-Russian bias.
70 per cent of news stories on the show, presented by Susannah Reid in a fur hat with a single red star on it, praised President Putin’s foreign policy, economic plans or all-around manliness.
An ITV spokesman said: “Good Morning Britain, which is simultaneously broadcast in the Ukraine under a slightly different title, had to get its financing from somewhere.
The £6m demanded by Susannah Reid for her incomparable ability to talk was put up by a Moscow-based consortium which also had helpful suggestions on our editorial direction.
The shows first guests, captured Ukrainian nationalists who Ben Shephard questioned aggressively about their links to the CIA, were followed by a lifestyle item about how many vodkas is too many on the school run.
Viewer Tom Logan said: The Cyrillic script scrolling across the screen can be distracting but theres clearly some editorial independence or Susannah wouldnt keep going on those unscripted rants about what a shithole Salford is.
Laura Tobins weather usually has fewer drifting toxic contamination clouds, though its nice to feel superior to the poor bastards in the Sverdlovsk Oblast for a change, rather than just Scotland.
And though Kate Garraway did say any Ukrainians supporting the Kiev regime are fascist agitators who should be shot, it wasnt as openly biased as BBC Breakfast.
