Cast your mind back a week or so and the BBC presenter Richard Bacon was presenting a programme about cyber bullying, he having been the victim of this in the past.
A few weeks before this the same Richard Bacon had undertaken a typically sycophantic interview with American comedian Doug Stanhope. Typical that is of Richard Bacon when interviewing someone from the left of politics and/or an edgy comedian, see my recent post re his interview with James Delingpole for how Richard Bacon interviews someone not to his liking. Richard Bacon included in that show a suggestion to look on YouTube for a particularly nasty piece of Doug Stanhope comedy aimed at Sarah Palin and her Down's Syndrome child. This came to my mind as I read Allison Pearson's piece in today's Telegraph which relates the cyber bullying that she recently experienced at the hands of Doug Stanhope and his Twitter friends.
Read the Telegraph article and feel free to ask Richard Bacon if he has read the article and if it has changed his view of Doug Stanhope?
