Labour candidate planned degree course in Spain 7:16pm on 06 Jul 2009 How is this even relevant? How about some reporting of what Ostrowski's policy positions are, not to mention those of all the other parties and candidates, preferably including Craig Murray's? That would both be interesting and show the BBC were providing unbiased and comprehensive coverage.
No independent day for Norwich MP 7:13pm on 06 Jul 2009 Aren't who's standing as an alternative to them in the by-election and what those alternative candidates' policies are two of the things politicians would prefer voters in Norwich North not to know? According to your own tagline then, shouldn't you be telling them?

The Independent quotes Michael Crick as saying (in response to a question on Newsnight making no mention of Craig Murray whatsoever in its coverage of the Norwich North by-election) "We're not obliged to report all the candidates. He'll have to join the queue behind the BNP and Ukip candidates to be interviewed."

So should your tagline read "I'll only let you know who the big parties' candidates are - and sod unbiased and equal coverage"?
