They censured her, berate is a synonym of censure,ergo, she was berated.

So what did they say to Naga?
Bearing in mind, that to berate someone is to scold them harshly.
The Guardian claimed that BBC censured Naga, but they don't know what was said. Perhaps you can enlighten them?
Censure is to criticise severely. Berate is not a synonym of censure.
The Guardian used 'censure', you changed it to berate, but your link does not provide berate as a synonym of censure.

Nor do others

Ergo, BBC did not berate Naga.

Anyway, they censured her in error, so your argument is pointless.

I used the word berate before I read that article as I knew she had been told off, but as the link I posted lists berate as a synonym of censure, it means just the same, they gave her a talking to, whether it was in error or not, they still did, so your argument is pointless. Did they tell her off (in error or otherwise) yes or no?YES.

 

[noseall]

Didn't the BBC berate Naga for speaking out of line?

No.

“There was never a finding against Naga for what she said about the President’s tweet.


Never. That's deffo a no.

 

[transam]

No.

“There was never a finding against Naga for what she said about the President’s tweet.


Never. That's deffo a no.

Never a finding what like an official rap. Over the knuckles

Oh

So nothing was said by the BBC than

so the BBC management said nothing then



Dunno. What all. The fuss was about then

 

[Ihavenojob]

No.

Maybe so, but that is not what I said, that she had been "berated" or given a talking to in words some people may understand.

The face nappy industry must be making a fortune out of the pandemic.

 

[noseall]

I'm sure they had much to say. None of it was berating Naga.

 

[Notch7]

got to love it when someone gets slapped down for getting too lippy.

So you think it's good a govt suppresses anybody that tells the truth
Tory apologist.

You applaud the lies and spin.

 

[noseall]

So you think it's good a govt suppresses

Bozza tried to prorogue Parliament once and got a massive slap down.

 

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

I used the word berate

So you used the wrong word.
Berate does not mean to criticise someone severely. It means to criticise someone angrily.
BBC did not berate Naga.
They may have criticised her, in error. They were in turn criticised.

You can't, as an individual, interchange words that you prefer. (Notwithstanding that a corporate, co-operative approach to the changing of meanings of words is normal, as in social constructionism).
