Some rightful respect for Andrew Neil there. Shame the BBC will, as always, overlook him for the establishment (Dimblebum, Marr).
ReplyDeleteNeil should have headlined the US election coverage. As for the other one, how anyone can watch Marr's awful Sunday show where he spends the entire hour with his lips pressed to the behinds of Labour or some mindless celebrity is quite beyond me.
Seems reasonable. I like Hardtalk best.
ReplyDeleteMuch as I approve many of the selections, such as Andrew Neil, I found it impossible to vote in some of the categories and only completed about half the questionnaire. What I should like to see is a choice for "None of the above".
ReplyDeleteToday is one of the worst news programmes not hte best. The only people vote for it is habit mixed with heavily cultivated received wisdom. In fact everything about the show is dull, jaded and predictable. It invariably edits out everything that would set a genuine debate going. Ed Storuton was the only independent minded decent person on the show and they've axed him.
ReplyDeleteoops - sorry for all the typos. Put it down to post Christmas excess.
ReplyDeleteaww i love Jeremy Vine on Radio 2
