BBC journalist and presenter Clive Myrie has said freedom of the press is “annoying, frustrating and even dangerous” for powerful and influential figures as he was presented with an award for his outstanding contribution to journalism.
The 58-year-old said the US had become a “shining example of toxicity of our modern age” – saying the BBC had been forced to write to the White House to ask for a review of the security arrangements for members of the press at former president Donald Trump’s rallies following attacks on reporters.
