Is this the one that got moderated from the 5 live boards? If so, could it have been because the artical in the link is about the Today Programme? Which is on Radio 4 and therefore they considered it off topic. I wonder if it would have been ok if you had posted it on the R4 boards.

You may have a point there.
But I think the article reflected wider issues.
They seem very fussy about what links you post over there.
A while ago I posted a link to the Arabs For Israel site & that got removed too.
I think unless something is blatantly offensive, it should be allowed. If no one is interested, the thread will disappear. Otherwise poeole can discuss it from all sides |

More power to John Humphrys I say! Ms Phillps, R. Littlejohn, Jeremy Clarkson, AA Gill and co are just hacks and not journalists in my opinion, to which I am fully entitled!  |

Yeah, but Melanie Phillips does NOT seek to silence those with opposing views.
She just points out the hypocrocies of the hurumphing self-righteous guys like John Humphreys & their slanted political agenda.
John Humphries can carry on hugging terrorists & third world dictators all he wants, but in his job he is supposed to maintain at least a semblance of impartiality.
John Humphreys is so predictably pro-Hamas, pro-ayatolla-run Iran, pro dioctator Chavez as he is anti-israel, anti-US & anti-Democracy
He decries Tony Blair for being a working class boy made good & thinks Britain should be ruled by the "natural elite" & that democracy should play no part!
Appalling! |

| Clive, everything you say is coloured by your own pro-Israeli bias. I understand that, but don't I share your views. |

| Maybe, Briant. But I am not presenting a BBC current affairs prog where I am supposed to be impartial. Humphreys is |

| I personally think John Humprhys is at least 20 times the journalist Philips is. If anyone is a national treasure here it's him |

Maybe if he stopped hugging terrorists & dictators for a minute, & tried to overcome his pathological hatred of Israel 7 America, he might be a half decent presenter
He certainly doesn't have half the insight or understanding that Ms Phillips has
He just swallows Hizbollah propganda whole
He was in awe of saddam Hussein |

TB-We certainly do.
John Humphrys-a national treasure-absolutely not.
Clive-you are absolutely spot on. |

Thanks, Mark.
Tarahara, I agree- we agree to disagree.
Everyone has different opinions.
On a good day, I could be disagreeing with myself! |
