Paul Rigby Wrote:Justin Webb has penned at least one article - in the Grauniad, the CIA's favourite British liberal daily, I think it was - in which he boasted of his commitment to Uncle Sam. A perfectly balanced presenter of Radio 4's Today programme, in other words.
The BBC, a shocking waste of our money and the potentialities of at least two remarkable media.
Justin Webb’s recent torrent of sycophantic, fellow-travelling drivel can, in large measure, be inspected here:

He was profiled by James Silver in the Guardian’s Media section on 7 January 2008, p.5:

My favourite extract is this one. See if you can spot the flaw in Webb’s logic:
“Look at the way Iraq was run before the invasion, look at Iran now, and then look at America. I mean, can you seriously say that there’s some kind of moral equivalence between the way they treat their own people and the way the Americans treat theirs?”
'I'm a real admirer of American patriotism' – especially when they’re exploding women and children in three countries in the Middle East, eh, Justin?
Puke inducing.
