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.

Clean, holding to the facts.Letting the audience make their own interpretations (as the BBC ougth t do in all reporting).

I've no beef with that. But some people will seize on this as an embarrassment or blunder. I don't think so. If people are going to be real about politics, instead of seeing it as just a silly points-scoring game, they have to realise candidates do have lives, can't know they'll succeed in being elected, at least till they bag a safe seat, and do have to have a Plan B unless they're very well off indeed.And if more candidates were of the calibre that get accepted to do MAs in international relations, the country might be better off.

I think Lord Hesseltine would agree on that. Thu 02 Jul 2009 19:43:38 GMT+1
