Chew on that:
Programme title:
Piers Morgan's Life Stories
Date and time of broadcast
(e.g. 01 January 2009 23:00):
14 Feb 2010 22:15
Channel / station:
ITV1 London
Subject:
Political Imbalance
Description:
Tonights Piers Morgan interview with Gordon Brown contravenes just about every element of section 5 of the OFCOM broadcasting code but particularly 5.8, 5.9 and 5.10.
The interviewer is a friend of Gordon Brown, and the interview was planned as a pre-election political broadcast "I had asked him three or four times and he'd said no, but then they went away at Christmas and he and Sarah talked about it and about other things they might do in the run-up to the election, and after that he said yes." (Piers Morgan source Independent on Sunday 14-02-2010).
In my opinion the impartiality of the interview and the obvious and blatant political usage of the broadcast airwaves in this manner contravenes section 5. It does so with complete disregard for due impartiality or reason.
I urge OFCOM to investigate this with all due haste and I make this complaint in good faith as an independent, non-aligned viewer.
Re Joanne Cash's travails in Westminster North, the classic example of a candidate and agent totally failing to get on was Dennis Potter and his agent Ron Brewer when Potter fought East Hertfordshire for Labour in 1964. The resulting play 'Vote, vote, vote for Nigel Barton' saw Potter forced by the BBC to tone down his portrayal of Brewer as 'Jack Hay'. Potter was so disillusioned by party politics that he did not cast his own vote in the election.
Another great show from Jonathan & Iain.
Now what I'm really looking forward to is 'An Audience with Jenny Tonge' hosted by Iain Dale, am I going to have a long wait?
