Bit naff and loaded questions tho really aren't they?
They really seem to stem from liberal ideas about the state of affairs over there, will it make Israel safer, can they destroy Hezbollah. These are pretty liberal questions in the sense that they are trying to make sense of a senseless situation by thinking that any of the action has a design, a plan or are an attempt to make the situation in the area better, rather then what it actually is, Israel blowing the crap out of someone who stood on their toes to make a point through violence.
What they should have asked are the more basic questions.
Do you support Israel's attacks against Lebanon.
Do you believe Israel's punishment of Lebanon is acceptable.
Do you believe Hezbollah is to blame for the situation.
Do you think Israel's attack will deter Hezbollah in the future from taking similar actions.
These are questions I would like to see the answers to on a scale that is larger then the bubble of U75, just to get an idea of what the country is thinking.

I noticed that the sun was referring him to 'vile George Galloway praised Hezbollah terrorists yesterday.....' in one of their articles in the paper.
I think Galloway is a cunt but so is The Sun for it's propaganda.

Getting the story first is increasingly -- and unfortunately -- becoming the be all and end all in broadcast journalism, especially with the advent of 24 hour rolling news.mhwfc said:
Personally, I'd rather report a story accurately than with haste and inaccuracies.
Agreed.mhwfc said:
He does know his stuff. Made her look a fool. Which is another danger of 24 hour rolling news. You can't possibly expect a presenter to get on top of so many briefs to the depth required for sensible and logical exploration of the issues. And there's not enough time given either.
You'd think 24 hour news might have led to more indepth coverage, but it's made everything arguably more superficial, because everything's got to be delivered in soundbites, and it's revolving more and more around the quarter hour, instead of half hourly or even hourly.
Instead of being news for people who are interested in news and current affairs, it's becoming news for people with the attention span of a goldfish, who can just channel hop, catch the latest headlines, then go back to watching dross.

If we had people like Galloway and Benn in positions of power we would be a far more equal and less warmongering country and we arw now thats for sure.

Agreed, Sky's ideology was evident in the interviewer's line of questions; she is just a mouthpiece for the Murdoch empire.

It wasn't him actually, but it was another returner.

Galloway is a prick but I love it when he goes to town like this (remember him in the states last year?)!
Kid_Eternity said:
i put it to you that all MP's are pricks its just Galloway happens to be a prick that speaks the truth when it comes to the Middle East and as one poster said before if we had more like Galloway and Benn in power then we would not be such a war mongering country.
Actually i take that back, i don't think Galloway is a prick because no one that speaks the truth with such passion can be a prick IMO but things he has done in the past not related to sticking it to the powers that be and deluded news presenters could be seen as being a bit of a prick

I mean, the presenter actually believed I think that this 'invasion' by Israel really began 4 weeks ago due to the capture of a soldier ffs!!
Where have all the good reporters gone instead of these doll faced idiots that give real intelligent women a bad name.

much as I think gorgeous george is a twonk, he really gave an excellent interview and knew his stuff. That sky presenter got the shit pile poured on her and a nice kick at the murdoch rolling news system. The finishing of gg (about the family on the beach killed by the israelies and then covered up) was excellent to watch
you could hear the cogs turning in the presenters head "oh shit, oh shit, oh shit"

Just came home from work and watched the interview (no sound on computer at work) and I have to say that GG totally destroyed the Sky interviewer IMO.
I can't say I am a great fan of the guy but as a debater he is without equal in the current Parliament.
Trouble is most people read Murdoch's 'rags' and take the 'Murdoch' view on 'news' as a gospel truth.
To get GG's view over to the masses he needs an interview on something like the BBC six o clock news - and that ain't gonna happen (from where I'm sitting).

Interestingly enuff the MOS said much the same thing about the Today programme this weekend.... biased and pro government and not very complimentary about James N either

I think so, if you think about it The Scum has one of the largest circulations i think? can not remmeber the exact figure. How many Sky dishes are there in this country? most seem to watch Sky news as default, i know my Dad and his partner do. I discussed the middle east problem years ago with them, critisised Israeli foreign policy and got called Anti-Semetic by them
Maybe not most people but certainly a large portion of people are influenced by Murdoch media
Just seen this
Thanks for that sheo, but I can't do video links, either in the office (no sound) or at home (where I ought to be able to have done, but I couldn't yetserday
)

Point taken, but there is a big difference between "gospel truth" and "influenced" though.
I read a bit of the S*n the other day - It happens once in a while - I never buy it though.
It was full of the usual biggoted shite - how great Israel was and how they should drop more bombs...

Not the best radio station in the world but a good two hours nevertheless.
No punches pulled....by anybody.
