Bratcasters

Who is the worst broadcaster on what we now call terrestrial television? My own betises noirs: Esther Rantzen, Dermot O'Leary (the boy who knows nothing) and Jamie Awwright Lessgodahntherubbidy Oliver. And his bloody apartment and his bloody footie loving mates.

I am a great admirer of Robert Kilroy-Silk.

Invariably he has a complete grasp of the subject under discussion. He always understands what his guests are saying and is never clumsy or insensitive in his handling of distressed people. He most certainly does not have an ugly, grating voice, or swallow his words, or misplace his emphases.

He was a very serious loss to British politics.

Misplaced emphases. Yes. So much unemployment, so many actors of no ability on the box. The person who dubs the new Werthers ad--" a chewy *toffee*!" What do you expect, dear, a chewy combine harvester?

Yes! Misplaced emphasis, and long inexplicable pauses mid sentence, which points stright at 'Top Gear.'

Have u guys ever seen american cnn? Paula Zahn, Paula Zahn, Paula Zahn, a close fourth...Aaron Brown!

They're horrible, unprofessional idiots that can't even have a conversation with the person they're interviewing. They're both drama queens and one of them came over from FOX, the worst tabloid network in tv history, what's the world comin to
