Not absolutely but it's the least biased of all the media. After all, it doesn't rely on advertising and the power of the advertiser to withdraw business if it doesn't like what's being said.

I don't watch Sky ?News? - that's akin to reading the Mail.

Oh of course I forgot - you're the veritable fount of all wisdom aren't you . Haven't you got any work to do again today?

Why should I be bitter?

You won't because the blue-rinsed old farts on here have been having a w**kfest for the past couple of hours.

Mrs Duffy has said she will not vote at all - full stop. The core vote is the vote that will not change, come what may. HTH

Dune doesn't understand what 'core vote' means. When he can drag his hand away from the tissue box, he might do himself a favour and look it up in the dictionary.

There isn't one. It was very wrong of him to privately express a view.

What's your (new) definition of 'a man of substance', Nick?

No Nick I'm not defending him. I already said it was disappointing and that I was dismayed or did your selective myopia come into play? I was just saying that he didn't tell her to her face that she wasn't a bigot (and then go on to say she was). That, my friend is what hypocrisy is. And it's downright silly to compare her to me because, whilst I might well have challenged him about some things (Iraq war for example) I wouldn't have asked a question about Eastern Europe immigration because it's not a topic that bothers me. I wouldn't have given him reason to call me bigoted. I did notice that, every time he tried to answer her questions, she cut him short and asked another question on a different topic. That must have been quite frustrating for him. A bit like Cameron, in the end, walking away from the father who challenged him about mainstream education for disabled children yesterday. Perhaps Cameron said something derogatory 'in private' about that?

Yes, she reportedly said she would vote for him. Then she heard about his calling her a bigot. At that point she said she wouldn't vote for anyone. Yes, I'm dismayed and disappointed. And yes, I think he was probably voicing an opinion in private. In the same way as many other politicians (and others) do. Sometimes some of them get caught out. It doesn't matter whether the event was stage-managed (it wasn't this time) or not. He didn't say it in public - he said it in private. Hypocritical? That means saying one thing and meaning another. He didn't say to her 'I don't think you're a bigot'. He said privately that he thought she was. None of us here are hypocrites though, are we

My retort was about the media froth, bias, misreporting - call it what you will.

aaaahaaa now I see Nancy = Oliver

How true this is. I've just seen Nick Robinson of the BBC saying 'she had said she was going to vote Labour but she's not voting for them now'. No she's not - she actually said (and I heard her say it) 'I'm not going to vote for any of them.'

OK you've completely lost me!
