The Methodist Recorder of 6 September has a full back-page interview with Jeremy Vine. It gives some prominence to his views on faith, of course, but he has plenty of more general things to say, too.

Unfortunately I can't find a weblink. Your local main library is probably the best place to see a copy.

Does he say anything startling?

Thanks, gfloyd.

Not really--though in the present climate some may find it startling that he owns up to being a practising Christian who goes to an Anglican church. He also has a bit to say about what he calls the media's apparent anti-Christian bias.

I like a quote of his on news--paraphrasing another source, he says that news is something that someone else doesn't want you to know--everything else is advertising.

He then adds that 'News is not just a polite conversation. In the end there has to be some moment when the sore tooth hits the wood'.

Is he right?

'News is not just a polite conversation'

certainly not on his show, it's usually just a hyped up tabloid argument
