As I blogged on Wednesday, the BBC web news were more than happy to report criticisms of David Cameron and George Osborne, even shoehorning them into their report on the PMQs. They are less keen on reporting the stronger criticisms of Gordon Brown, in fact there is not a mention on the BBC news website...
'WikiLeaks: Gordon Brown 'lurched from disaster to disaster'
Gordon Brown was dismissed as an “abysmal” prime minister by the US embassy in London within a year of taking office, diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks show.
George Bush’s last ambassador wrote that Mr Brown lurched from “political disaster to disaster” in a period of “rudderlessness” after Tony Blair’s departure from Downing Street in 2007.
...
He concluded: “We don’t see a clear tipping point on the horizon – but given Brown’s abysmal track record over the last year, that day could come when Labour MPs return from vacations in late August/early September.”'
I must be fair to BBC Radio 4 News as they did report the criticisms of Gordon Brown and other leading Labour figures albeit after the Afghanistan revelations.
