Maybe she recognised the "reporter" was from Rebel News, a far-right Canadian version of Breitbart and were asking the questions about as far away from in good faith as you can get? They later twist themselves in knots trying to pretend that Rebel News aren't an incredibly dubious organisation.
Then there's all the smeary shit from Kurt ####ing Metzger; "she's just a puppet, you're not supposed to listen to what she says" and Jimmy chiming in with his bit about her German arrest being a "photo-op".
"Greta it's getting quite cold in Davos, when can we expect some global warming?", "Are you a child actor? How would you describe yourself?". And their only issue is "Why won't she answer?" ...these incredibly stupid, bad faith, shock jock clippable questions.
And as for the other reporters "answering for her" they were actually getting pissed off with these far-right idiots wasting time on inane gotcha questions.
"You think this is gonna get it done on climate change?" asks Jimmy over and over again. Does he think shitting all over Thunberg and amplifying Rebel News arseholes is going to get it done?
Sorry, this is transparently utter bollocks.
Her being "embraced by the BBC" is more interesting and I think it's clear that she is seen as the acceptable face of climate protest to some extent. That doesn't excuse this kind of garbage coverage.
