    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.

    Jon Snow = C4 News = ITN

    Just thought I would add in to make your equalities formula complete. :)

    I'm not sure Jon Snow can't help it..... he was talking to one of 'his own' earlier, and he still grilled him like he did Martin - I don't think Jon's missus is putting out at the mo, that's why he's so grumpy!

    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.
