Alex Salmond Sticking The Boot In!


Recommended Posts

just watched the salmond v darling debate from august 25th from glasgow

salmond comes over as a snake oil salesman - or is it only me

Round here, you'll be in a minority.

But when you vote play the ball not the man. He'll be dead and gone in the next decade or so, Scotland will continue.

How it was reported:-

What actually happened:-

That's not spin, that's just plain old bare faced lying!!!!

So... the BBC actually give more time to what the journalist said, than the speaker; they show the journalis asking the question, cut out Salmond's answer, and conclude with the journalist saying he didn't answer the question!

Yep that's pretty much it.

Imagine if the speaker had been the Prime Minister. Surely the BBC would show the tasty exchange where the national leader quips he's being heckled by the state broadcaster in front of an international audience. Can you imagine them not showing Cameron's response to Robinson's question?
