Chris Huhne, adulterer, speed freak, arm twister, liar and convicted criminal has been given free run of the BBC to peddle some conspiracy theories he cooked up whilst he had a bit of time on his hands in chokey…namely that Rupert Murdoch had a contract out on him.
The BBC of course are happy to go along with this even though they know it is complete tripe…as long as Murdoch’s name is trashed even if slanderously by association and indirect fire.
He appeared on the Today programme which ‘Is the BBC biased’ has fisked beautifully but Victoria Derbyshire also gave his delusions some prime time on her show. (10:15)
The question is why? Huhne writes a self pitying piece in the Guardian blaming Murdoch for his downfall and the BBC goes overboard giving credence to his claims.
Derbyshire brought in Evan Harris, fellow Lib Dem and one of the movers and shakers of ‘Hacked Off’…not exactly an uninterested party…..but he in fact didn’t support Huhne…though not exactly supportive of Murdoch.
No one from Murdoch’s side, or any neutral commentator appeared…all we got was a ‘Bizarre and nothing to do with us’ from News International read out at the end.
What about those claims that it was Murdoch on a man hunt? Was it the Times or the News of the World that did for honest Huhne?
Derbyshire played a recording of a phone call between Huhne and his wife….which paper was mentioned as having run the story by Huhne’s wife?
The Daily Mail
So not the Times or the Screws.
As Guido reveals….Murdoch cunningly got the affair story and the picture into the News of the World’s bitter rival the Sunday People, then got the Sunday Times’ rival Mail on Sunday to first make the running on the speeding points story after forcing Huhne to pervert the course of justice. He is delusional if he thinks this was a Murdoch-press conspiracy.
Yet again good journalism from Derbyshire…obviously hasn’t listened to the tape before hand or she thought ‘We’ll wing it and hope no one notices’.
Why does the BBC give prime time to someone with such a clearly barking idea and who is carrying out his own personal vendetta against Murdoch….in the hope that blaming Murdoch, who he believes is now a devil incarnate in the Public’s mind (Not), will somehow exonerate him.
To be fair to Derbyshire she read out some texts or emails at the end…Huhne is on a loser if he thinks this will gain him any credibility or sympathy…..
‘Tears of sympathy?…no tears of laughter’
‘Not decent, honest or moral’
‘Vile man’
Shame that BBC News didn’t get the message…it kept repeating Huhne’s claims and his attack on Murdoch.
Nothing like slinging mud…or getting someone else to do it for you.
HUHNE is in denial about his crime, and BBC-NUJ & ‘Guardian’ are in there with him, especially when it come to irrational political criticism of News International.
Beeboids-Guardianistas do not simply propagandise for the likes of ex-and present Gitmo detainees, Binyam Mohamed and Shaker Aamar, but also for ex-UK convict, Chris Huhne.
Typical BBC doublethink – it’s Murdoch’s fault because he published the details of my crime.
Still that is nothing compared to Mark Thompson’s performance in the House of Commons this afternoon…
So when I give away £1M of public money it is actually saving you money – you see that don’t you?
I see a libel action looming. Second offence, Huhne. Take him down!!
i hate it when vicky plays these pre recorded censored interviews,that is just a cop out,
Given the predictable inevitability of the Guardian>Today>Newsnight ‘news’ cycle, it should have come as no surprise that Mr. Katz (of whom more later) did not feel the urge to break with BBC tradition…

Anyone would think they have a Murdoch itch to scratch to an extent they don’t notice the self-harm inflicted.
You don’t agee with him. Doesnt make it bias.
Are you going to ban all adulterers from TV?
And leave the BBC without most of their on-air talent? Heaven forbid.

I’m guessing you’d be a large.
But it will ride up with wear.
How do you manage to type with one of those on Guest Who?
Quality, ‘Men’, quality.
Don’t forget those commas, now.
Guessing that, after a period of uncertainty, the reappearance of much-missed regulars again en masse points to the actual lack of anything post-PAC resulting in the ‘special projects’ budget being ring-fenced a while longer?
