[Torie]

Caught!

Amazing. And as a taxpayer-funded entity, the BBC is even more immune to public opinion than the American media.

[Sen Jack S. Fogbound]

This may be it for the BBC! The Government will probably shut it down for making false news, influencing electrions, etc.

[Bullish]

Liberals are unfair and horrid all over the world.

[reg45]

Dan Rather! Your next job awaits you.

How many times does the MSM - Liberally Biased Press have to get caught in its blatant bias and "true colors" actions as willing participants, NOT reporters of events, before it learns its lesson?

CBS/TANG/Rathegate...death of SeeBS...

BBC heckler plants = death of BBC?

[Soul Seeker]

Why would the Tories not wish BBC to broadcast the footage?

If me, I'd want it looped repeatedly for citizens to view MSM bias up close.

[ozzymandus]

Just like PBS. Another biased leftist "news" organization on the public tit.

[freepatriot32]

well it looks like all the people that got fired from cbs awhile back have finally found a new home

[aculeus]

Imagine being forced to pay $300 (+ -) per year to BBC!

[Cacique]

Care to throw in your 2 cents? err: your two shillings?

All three candidates have been on CSPAN. All interviewed by the same BBC clymer, Jeremy Paxman.

It is worth watching for a few moments just to see what an arrogant, obnoxious, worthless, scumbag media hack looks and acts like.

This mega-clymer interviewed the Prime Minister and the two members of Parliament who would be PM and argued with them, like somebody really cared what he thought. This jerk would ask a question and long before the answer was finished, interrupt with either another dumb question or an even dumber retort.

It was like a Bill O'Reilly discussion where he is really the only speaker of any importance. But, even Bill would act appropriately were he in the role of facilitator, trying to get the candidates to talk at length about their views on a given issue.

Watch for the few minutes you can stomach. This guy is what happens when left-wing extremism and the media are fully funded by the government and have no concern for objectivity.

Last night, the BBC claimed that the exercise was part of a "completely legitimate programme about the history and art of political heckling"...

Even in the art of getting caught with your pants down Dan Rather comes in 2nd.

[RichInOC]

They're all master baiters at the Beeb....

[elli1]

This is a completely legitimate programme about the history and art of political heckling....

If it was 'legitimate', then the BBC wouldn't be in the business of casting the heckler parts. Nothing is legitimate about docufiction.
