In 2005 , Esler interviewed George Galloway on '' Newsnight '' about the London bombings . The BBC was reported to have received hundreds of complaints about his interview alleging his questioning was " rude and aggressive " . Peter Barron , editor of '' Newsnight '' , defended the questioning of Galloway 's tactics : In 2007 a BBC Trust publication investigating impartiality in the organisation criticised an unnamed BBC news presenter for writing an article in the '' Daily Mirror '' newspaper entitled " Why the World Needs Hillary " , stating they had been " unwise " for doing so . The article appeared to endorse Hillary Clinton to be the next US President and it soon emerged that the news presenter in question was Esler . The BBC report noted that " the apparent endorsement of one presidential candidate in elections in a country which , in his words , ' now seems seriously off course ' could make it hard for that presenter to conduct American political interviews "
