What I find despicable is the interviewer on Today this morning not knowing or (if knowing) not mentioning them to Casey. The BBC is forever burnishing its journalistic credentials and banging on about its devotion to reporting in the face of extreme danger (cf the memorial to the "Unknown Journalist" on the roof of Broadcasting House). However, when it comes to the bread and butter matter of doing a bit of research before interviewing another government apparatchik all the "journalism" goes straight out of the window and the BBC's function as a transmission belt for the Ministry of Propaganda takes precedence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-79951840449949893582008-06-18T10:07:00.000+01:002008-06-18T10:07:00.000+01:00The government does exactly the opposite of what i...The government does exactly the opposite of what it says on the tin.Letters From A Toryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14612766550608940053noreply@blogger.com
