BBC PLANTS HECKLERS TO DISRUPT UK CONSERVATIVE RALLY... DEVELOPING... The BBC was last night plunged into a damaging General Election row after it admitted equipping three hecklers with microphones and sending them into a campaign meeting addressed by Michael Howard, the Conservative leader.... MORE...
CSPAN replayed the BBC's interviews with the three primary candidates for Prime Minister in the UK. The name of the "news" hack was Jeremy Piven, or something like that.
Michael Howard--the conservative--by far received the most vitriolic, asinine, rude treatment of any of the three candidates.
Tony Blair, to be sure, likewise, got a rude treatment...but not as rude.
Treated with kid gloves was the Liberal Democrat candidate for PM: CHARLES KENNEDY. (Coincidental, ain't it, that a Kennedy is the leader of Liberal Democrats?)
As more Brits get dishes, the BBC will be as small as PBS.
The Bolshevik Broadcasting Company, wot?
Wow. The BBC may have just single-handedly elected the Tories.
What did Tony Blair know and when did he know it?
Do you recall that story when BBC executives bashed the US media for skewering coverage of the Iraq war, after they pulled that atrocious stunt on Blair saying he lied etc.. with no evidence and fabrications rife throughout resulting in the suicide of a gov worker? They are unbelievable. We need to abolish NPR and PBS before something like this happens!

And it can't happen soon enough!

The British people are forced to pay a tax on their television sets to support this nonsense. I'm sure you could get members of both British parties to agree to "major reforms".
BBC Motto: We Heckle, You Decide!
Lets keep legs under this story, the BBC need to be on the
front page as long as possible over this.
If you have a tv set you're required to pay a BBC license fee of about $300 per year whether you watch it or not.
What an outrage!
No. Our news networks don't tinker with them small potatas. They send their guys straight behind enemy lines to coddle the terrorists.
Blair may be a liberal but in many ways he is more of the Scoop Jackson-mold than your garden-variety socialist. My impression of Blair is that in a one-on-one discussion, he would not veer into the standard name-calling but would actually try to match "fact" for "fact."
I give a benefit of the doubt to Blair due to his unpopular but resilient Irag/terrorism stance.
That being said, I would certainly be happy if Howard was to take the cake. If Howard doesn't then I could at least still stomach Blair.
I thought Jeremy Piven was a Hollywood actor?
BBC "NEWS" is shown nightly in the US on PBS. Does that mean US Taxpayers are also paying for this broadcast?
Jeremy Paxman.
