BBC Breakfast's Naga Munchetty is now a household name - but her career in journalism hasn't always been quite so glamorous.She was regularly told she was "useless" and had to develop a thick skin as she got to grips with the tools of the trade.Speaking in a brand new interview, Naga admitted: "I had copy thrown at me when I first started in newspapers.
