I am not a sheep, I have my own mind
I have had enough of being told what and how to think
Whilst we are still allowed the remnants of free speech,
I will speak out.
I also reserve the right to discuss less controversial matters should I feel the urge.

I agree 100%, Politicians are here to answer to us the public. When did it all change to the media treating them like they are gods?
Compare these opening paragraphs from three BBC reports on recent scandals involving American politicians:
First paragraph:
A Republican senator has apologised for "a very serious sin in my past" after his phone number was linked to an alleged Washington prostitution ring.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/6287488.stm
First paragraph:
A US Republican senator who pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct after his arrest in a men's toilet has announced his resignation from the Senate.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/6973604.stm
First paragraph:
Schoolchildren in the US state of Ohio were left bemused after images of nude women were shown in a politician's lecture on the legislative process.
No mention of the politician's party - until the sixth paragraph:
Mr Barrett, a Democrat elected to the state house of representatives last year, was giving a lecture on the US government.

This is rubbish. Take a look at the BBC News site at the moment. In case it changes, here's a screenshot:

Hardly pro-brown?
Marc, one swallow does not a summer make. The BBC could hardly be 100% totally pro-Brown today, the headline that "Brown treating people as fools" is a quote from David Cameron. Don't worry the BBC will be back on usual pro-Brown form very soon, the fightback starts with the mini-Budget which will have some incredible measures, none of which's costings the BBC will question. "Eye catching" initiatives will give the BBC the excuses they hardly need to promote Gordon Brown's "vision" and to continue disparaging David Cameron.
