I agree that others are involved, but ultimately Lara Spender has the most visible agency here ... and power. No doubt she could have influenced the language used in that segment and most definitely the tone in which she read the copy. She could have changed either and did not.
Is this a major disaster? No, but it is a very visible unforced error. She should know better. The producers should know better. And all of them should have done better.
