    Why? Snow is as much a journalist as Martin. Questions were always going to be asked and Martin answered them very well.

    I love Jon Snow, I have a signed copy of his autobiography. He always plays devil's advocate and is far better than Krishnan, Samira et al. Possibly too much against Martin but not excessively so.

    what a stupid line of attack to say if you recommend something no matter how long ago your recommendation still stands. That is so flawed and so full of holes it totally wrecks his credibility as a journalist.

    I wonder how many ties he owns, do you reckon it is more stripey shirts than Martin?

    Maybe worth a poll? :D

    He is a good news presenter.. sometimes.

    However at the point he was attacking Martin he didn't really know what he was talking about.

    How clever are you, using "gay" as an insult. Jon Snow may have been a bit harsh but he was just doing his job, like Jeremy Paxman would have done. It wasn't personal.

    Jon Snow was doing the job of a BBC newscaster - they are supposed to grill and ask awkward questions and rig their interviews the way they want them to look, and stuff fairness. Martin is by no means the first nor the last to be cast in the light that had been already decided.

    Impartial BBC? My foot.
    Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.
