You must have you head where the sun does not shine to say such a stupid thing!
This from somebody who said Clegg shouldn't be in the Leaders debate as he was irrellevant0 -
Sky's Adam Boulton's connections with New Labour royalty are well known, as Badger says. So is the BBC's Nick Robinson's background.
But I don't think it's fair for anyone to slag off either of 'em for their performance. Robinson has been pretty good IMHO; surprisingly -- well, to me -- Boulton has done even better. And Sky News has been indispensable. (ITN, by contrast, has been, well, dire. And it knows it.)
Trumping both Boulton and Robinson though has been Laura wotsername, the BBC's Political Correspondent: I haven't seen a better politico reporter (as distinct from a poplitico commentator) in years. The lady's a genuine class act.
* None of which alters the fact that the BBC's Leftwing bias -- one entrenched within the organisation as a whole -- has been a bloody disgrace. Only time will tell if its Socialist fat cats and lackeys ultimately get thrown out.
(Sorry to hear that Helen Boaden, the blazingly inept Director of BBC News, is today having to reconcile herself to a minor family tragedy: her brother, Michael, failed to get elected as Labour MP in the former Labour stronghold of Carlisle. Aw, shucks.)0
