BBC Commentator on Newsnight program on C-SPAN
I believe its called newsnight. Its a single moderator
who GRILLS with a capital G anyone who comes on. He
won't allow spin and is so blunt that he would be burned
here.

Anyone else see it? Check out c-span for this and watch
how discussion should be made. I love this program.

1. Jeremy Paxman? He's our Gestapo!
If it's Paxman, we should have made him king of all media years ago. I once saw a classic interview with him and likely UK Tory leader when he tore him to shreds just be asking the same question over and over (15 times, maybe?) until he pretty much broke. It's like having our own lefty secret police interrogator!

2. My favourite Paxman quote..
‘I am always asking myself’, he once said, ‘why is this lying bastard lying to me’.

Why doesn't every interviewer think like that!

3. Sorry, scratch Gestapo
That's a really inappropriate thing for me to have said. My apologies.
