BIAS BLUNDER AT THE BBC
A purportedly neutral BBC anchor slipped up yesterday and showed his true colors in an interview with a former Labour Party member:
THE BBC’s reputation for fair and balanced reporting was at risk last night after top broadcaster James Naughtie blurted out his pro-Labour sympathies.
In a live chat with ex-Treasury chief Ed Balls — weeks before the May 5 election — he asked: “If WE win the election, does Gordon Brown remain Chancellor?”
He struggled to recover, saying: “If YOU win the election.”
The blunder came on Radio 4’s flagship Today programme. Mr Naughtie has frequently given Conservatives a rough ride in interviews while apparently giving Labour frontmen an easy time.
Sounds like Mr. Naughtie would fit right into an American softball team. Or the American MSM. Same thing.
