The Daily Telegraph reports that children’s BBC presenter Kirsten O’Brien

has joked at the Edinburgh Festival that:

Everyone at CBBC is either gay or childless and don’t like kids.

…before going on to say:

Still, at least we’re better than Palestinian children’s TV, which gets kids to sing songs about AK-47 rifles.

…which is interesting, because for some strange reason the BBC always seems to be looking the other way when Middle Eastern broadcasters spew hatred about other people and nations at their viewers, children or not.

Does anyone fancy starting a book on:

a) whether or not this story is mentioned on BBC Views Online;

b) whether or not they’ll mention O’Brien’s reference to Hamas and AK47s?
