Fair and Balanced?

Posted 14 Feb 2010 by Walaa Idris

The double standard in questioning and reporting is still here and I suspect will carry on and might even get worst as we get closer to the election.
We all know that the Lord Ashcroft Tax status is in question and it will continues to be until it is settled one way or the other. But to continually ask Shadow Cabinet members about it is simply ludicrous. Today it was George Osborn’s turn – who I am proud to say, gave as good as he got and stood his ground. Well-done George!

But what I found disturbing is how Tim Marshall – filling in for Adam Bolton on Sunday Live – had ample opportunity to quiz David Miliband about the same thing, (the Tax status) of Lord Paul of Marylebone – who has donated £355,000 to Labour £45,000 of which directly to Mr. Brown’s 07 leadership campaign – but elected not to, allowing Miliband to use his time on Sky as a Party Political Broadcast slot….!!!!!

I ask you, well we ever get fair and balanced reporting!?

There is a better chance of the Pope setting up an Abortion Clinic than the electronic media being unbiased in its coverage and reportage. Hit the Tories wih everything they can find against us, hector and be downright rude to our spokesmen and interupt as much as you can. With Labour it is kid gloves and obsequious courtesy of a type which would have made the late Richard Dimbleby blush.
