Gunning For Gove?

 

 

 

I have already mentioned that it looked like Emily Maitlis was having a dig at Gove in her report on snap Oftsed inspections but had the rug pulled from under her by a BBC reporter with a more professional approach….and the facts of course.

Guido has highlighted her tweet about Gove’s apparent little problem:

 

As the allegations made in the interview were total rubbish and have now been withdrawn dubbing the interview a ‘killer interview’ might be seen as a bit of wishful thinking and might make you suspect that some at the BBC are more concerned either with getting Gove and/or with getting a heavyweight political scalp on their CV rather than informing the viewers in a measured and accurate manner of the facts.

Newsnight more showbizz and eye catching stunts than considered journalism?

    And did you see Newsnight scraping the egg of their faces last night?
    Emily rang OFSTED to clarify their mispeaking,misremembering Chief(he doesn`t do grammar, apparently with words like these)…and they rather felt that Gove was being immature and merely squabbling over tittle tattle-i. e he was right, Wilshaw wanted to give paxo a bone and Newsnight sucked the bloody thing until it turned out to be a lemon.
    Maybe Gove should go on the BBC to demand apologies for being traduced by Newsnight-and maybe Yvette Cooper would back him.
    Or not.
    Being the BBC means making is all up, letting Maitlis talk crap and then phoning OFSTED to not clarify or say sorry-only the little people do that.
    What a circus…Newsnight needs an anchor alright-then drop it to the depths of the Blue Peter septic tank…utter crap.

    Isn’t it time Newsnight recruited yet another Guardian hack?

    Or is C4 the leftist recruiter’s flavour of the month now?

    some bbc journalists,the left and the islamists have launched a what i would call a all out cultural jihad against micheal gove in recent days,it is getting very nasty indeed,there are good muslims out there but sadly in the minority who stand up to the islamists like the quillian foundation,but sadly this organisation is getting the same hatred and threats made against it because they chose to expose the islamists who pose as moderates, emily has clear links to the labour party which she has never denied,bbc bias and politacal bias go hand and hand when it comes to politics,emily has just proved that again.

    the beeb guns for any minister, no matter their stripe. that’s as it should be.

    however, it does seem that more firepower is unleashed on incumbent ministers when the tories are in power. i noticed, even when i was still a labour supporter, that tories always got a rougher time on qt, newsnight etc.

    it should also be added….emily maitlis…as rik/richie/flashie would have said ‘woof woof! am i pleased to see you or did i just put a canoe in my pocket?’

    Should a professional journalist not know that names have a capital letter?

        Coming from you – who’s been frequently asked why you ignore Biased BBC commenters’ bad behaviour, abusive comments and lies, but refuses to answer – isn’t accusing someone else of evading topics a bit like Alan accusing others of lying to bolster a weak, if not non-existent, argument?

              Why do trolls always think everything is about them ? Are they all spoilt children ? They should have been ignored, not always indulged.

              So – for its own good, ignore the troll !

                You mean ignored like you ignore Alan’s lying, and other Biased BBC members making the sort of personal attacks that would have them clutching their pearls and screeching “ad hominem!” if they were the subjects rather than the perpetrators?

                You’re very good at that sort of ignoring, aren’t you, “John”? Why is that, do you think?

                Is it maybe because under other persona(s) you are one such abuser? Or maybe you’re just so deeply ashamed of the way you and other Biased BBC commenters behave that you can’t quite bring yourself to be adult enough to admit it.

                Of maybe you’re just incredibly dense, and you’ve fooled yourself into thinking that repeating “don’t feed the troll” as some form of demented mantra will magically transform you into someone who isn’t completely ineffectual after all… But I’m sure it’s not that…

                    Still ignoring Alan’s lies, then… why can’t you address how you ignore other people’s behaviour and choose instead to rail against a fictional version of mine?

                    A responsible adult would not behave as you do.

                      What a ridiculous troll it is, going round and round in ever-decreasing circles. Hopefully it will soon disappear into its own fundament.

                      All it would take to break the cycle would be for you to engage in honest debate. All week, you’ve been given the opportunity to respond to questions: all week, you’ve chosen instead to pretend that I’m a troll.

                      If you choose to behave like a repetitive idiot, there’s not really much that any of us can do. But don’t blame anybody else for your own behaviour.

    It’s not just Maitlis, the BBC has always supports their chums in the predominantly socialist teaching unions who despise Gove because he has the audacity to question their right to do whatever they want in our schools. Remember the BBC’s Kirsty “twat” Young’s comments on HIGNFY recently? And the Guardian/BBC’s David Mitchell’s similar epithet on the same programme a few months ago? But hey, it’s only ‘satire’, just a bit of fun.
