How about the time she was found, by the BBC's own ECU, to have 'problems accurately reporting the Labour Party' as a result of being caught doctoring footage to make Corbyn appear like he'd answered a different question from her?<br /><br />A journalist needs to prove what it is they are telling their public. They cannot simply rely on one source, specifically when that source has their own agenda. To say that Labour HQ ferried activists to Leeds General would have required research on her part, like asking the kind of 'senior source' she so favours within that party. To say nothing of actually checking that a punch was actually thrown in the first place. <br /><br />It's not a mistake to not do the proper and checks and balances required from you in your well paid and professional role. It's incompetence at best and dangerous bias at worst.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569732807130090838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-36951523179190596202019-12-11T22:22:29.551+00:002019-12-11T22:22:29.551+00:00Laura gets accused of bias and abuse from both the...Laura gets accused of bias and abuse from both the left and right so she must be doing something right.

Surprised how quick they got round to replying actually.

He makes it quite clear that he panders to what he sees as his core audience of largely older, retired people who have the time and need to dial in to radio phone in shows. <br /><br />Think about such people. Lonely, impressionable and scared. Scared largely of stuff the media tell them to be scared of. As a departing Star reporter once put it, an ever decreasing whirlpool of shit.

Recall when the Leader of the Opposition WAS punched in the head- viciously - it was briefly reported as an egging yet when video emerged that showed the truth albeit Corbyn's attacker holding an egg in his fist as he slammed that fist into the side of Corbyn's head (and was going for a second punch before stopped) there was no correcting of the record. The incident faded quickly out of sight.<br />Now a blatant lie was perpetuated by 2 senior political reporters at a crucial time and yet they have become the victim.Samnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-4341845930573372152019-12-10T23:08:02.521+00:002019-12-10T23:08:02.521+00:00Jeremy Vine is utterly useless.

From being Number 2 Jeremy in the Newsnight set-up (and didn't he hate that?) to being in charge of the swing-o-meter on election night, a role previously given to that other waste of space, Peter Snow. But he was so slatheringly desperate that he even agreed to dress up as a cowboy and adopt an American drawl in arguably one of the biggest examples of dumbed down TV ever.<br /><br />His character can be best summed up by the fact that, when forced to take a pay cut by the Beeb, he took on a second job with Channel 5 to make up the difference. That said, do we really think he'll be happy to pay more tax under a Labour govt? Not a chance. Hence he's sticking the boot in and defending Lady Haw-Haw. <br /><br />Oh and he's mates with Tracy An Oberman. Says it all really.<br /><br />PS, remember when he said that Radio 2 shouldn't have a Drivetime show because it celebrates cars when we should all be using bicycles like him?Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569732807130090838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-54080370879512983612019-12-10T20:14:41.147+00:002019-12-10T20:14:41.147+00:00If "they were had by the oldest trick, lying&...If "they were had by the oldest trick, lying" they were willingly "had".<br /><br />In which case the BBC needs to explain how its gang of tory propagandists were "had" with all their other "mistakes".<br /><br />All of which makes Vine just another duped bullshitter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
