Chris Mason Twitter is a remarkably efficient way of making an idiot of yourself.
Twitter’s not the only way….as the BBC’s political correspondent, Chris Mason, uses the back of an envelope to draw up his reports……
Chris Mason put on the spot today as Peter Allen asks him about a hot topic currently hitting the headlines (31 mins)……
Peter Allen: ‘I’m just reading something, I don’t know what it means…but you’re a reporter Chris…Jeremy Corbyn has won his bid to personally fight a legal action…do you know what that means?’
Chris Mason: ‘Errrr…No I don’t….’
It’s only the fact that a Labour Donor was taking legal action to remove Corbyn’s name from the leadership ballot.
Why would the BBC’s political correspondent know anything about that?
Jeremy Corbyn has won the right to personally contest a legal bid aimed at taking his name off the Labour leadership ballot.
Labour donor Michael Foster had launched a High Court challenge against the party’s decision to automatically include Mr Corbyn in the upcoming leadership election.
thanks to the conservative neglect of all things media i am left to view parliamentary committee rooms debates as the last place in this country for commonsense.i have written to my mp nothing yet maybe campaigning for people to view this site for the truth with banners outside the houses of parliament or live tv banners just an idea. going back to hibernation now will awake when somethings done.
The SImon Bates morning show on Radio Devon regularly has a piece from the political correspondent, Paul Rowley. He is always entertaining to listen to but this morning he surpassed himself with a ‘resume’ of BBC Management. It is on the iPlayer at 02:15:44 in. Not often you get a laugh.
