Defending the indefensible

Yesterday I received a comment on my old post entitled '
The BBC/Labour relationship in one video clip'.

Here's the comment from 'Anonymous'

'What was it that we're supposed to be annoyed about? She said something to him, and he then interrupted IDS, but you can't say that one led to the other. All David Dimbleby does on that show is interupt and challenge the speakers - that's what he's there for. He does it to everyone - well, to all the politicians anyway, he usually gives journos and business types an easier ride.

By the way, Dimbleby is not employed by the BBC, he's always been a freelancer.'

And here's the video


So let's see: can you really watch that piece of video and not see Harriet Harman tell David Dimbleby what to do and him acquiesce? Check Beeb Bias Craig for figures detailing David Dimbleby's lack of bias. And as for David dimbleby not being employed by the BBC, so what? They pay him and they broadcast the programme.
