Maverick MP and self publicist George Galloway is finally removed from the TV show's
Big Brother House and mainstream media descends on him like vultures and the Eumenides wrapped up together.
Ignoring his victory in overturning a national newspaper that had sought to smear him with allegations of embezzling money from Saddam Hussein (!), rather than take a look at just what this newspaper - Daily Telegraph - did that was judged illegal, newscasters merely
repeated the initial allegations. Throw mud, everyone. It'll stick.
To cap a mad night, UK's leading daily factual TV programme - Newsnight on BBC2 at 10.30pm - constructed as its lead story, not the volcanic Palestinian elections that were to lead to a Hamas victory, but further 'analysis' of George Galloway's behaviour in the Big Brother House.
As it happens I am currently reading "Guardians of Power" by David Edwards and David Cromwell (who run Media Lens). It is a devastating critique of liberal media.
We have such need of the internet.
