Laura Kuenssberg and the vitriol on the social media

Laura is using her social media accounts for reaching to her fans. But recently in July 2018, she told author Tom Baldwin that she found ugly comments on it regarding her broadcast and had almost quit the social media. She said:

“I’ve tried to pull back and I’ve thought about coming off it altogether. Partly, that’s because it’s uglier out there now; it’s like a playground where people want to shout each other down. I don’t read the comments people write about me – it’s not worth it.”
