The ECU found no grounds for the suggestion that the presenter, Fiona Bruce, had referred to Ms Abbott during the preliminaries to the recording in terms which were discriminatory or听likely to prejudice the studio audience against her, and nothing to support the view that Ms Bruce鈥檚 conduct of the discussion was less than even-handed.听 There was, however, a misleading impression arising from an exchange in which another panellist said Labour was 鈥渨ay behind鈥�, 鈥渕iles behind鈥� and 鈥渟ix points behind鈥� in the polls.听 Ms Abbott replied 鈥淛ust as a point of information, currently we鈥檙e kind of, in the polls overall, we鈥檈r kind of level pegging鈥�, at which point Ms Bruce interjected 鈥淏ut you鈥檙e behind, Diane鈥efinitely鈥�.听 Subsequent corrections on social media and on the 麻豆官网首页入口 website 鈥淐orrections and Clarifications鈥� page made clear that Ms Bruce had in mind a poll published on the morning of the programme which showed a Conservative lead (of 5%), while saying Ms Abbott was 鈥渁lso right鈥� with reference to recent polling as a whole, and a correction by Ms Bruce in the 24 January edition of the programme echoed this.听 The ECU, while acknowledging these extensive efforts to set the record straight, took the view that the effect of Ms Bruce鈥檚 intervention went beyond generating confusion between different sets of polling data, suggesting that, contrary to what Ms Abbott had said, the overall data then current showed a definite Conservative lead, and that the corrections did not entirely rectify that impression.
