BBC Gets Ready to Celebrate Obama Victory

Guido has got hold of an invite to an Obama victory party sent out by BBC Wales political reporter Toby Mason. Now there are strict rules about impartiality at the BBC, particularly for their political reporters. Guido spoke to Toby about his party and asked him if it was perhaps a little partisan in tone. He’s getting back to Guido….

Rumour reaches Guido that despite the Credit Crunch the biggest party in New York on election night will be held by… the BBC. It is a fact that the BBC has more reporters covering the U.S. election than any domestic American broadcast network. Evidence, if evidence was needed, that it is incredibly bloated and over-funded. Bet the Beeboids can’t wait to crack open the champagne…

UPDATE : The Indy reports that a memo has gone out to Beeboids to cut back on the Champagne.

Max Clifford says…

“Most people want to read nasty things about people, not nice things.”

Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?

Just a thought.
