BBC Is Hung Up On David Blaine
EXHIBITIONIST David Blaine is hanging upside down over a section of New York’s Central Park.
Anyone walking below Blaine should take an umbrella lest his catheter break, and, for similar reasons, a bucket and towel.
His hanging is a lead story on the BBC’s Breakfast show, on which presenters are invited to walk the fine line between snooty and trashy. Watching is not enough unlike tuning into a dinner conversation at a provincial golf club.
Sian Williams - who for deaf viewers and anyone who might want to draw their one conclusions attempts to read the news with her eyes alone (wide for a happy story; narrow for sad; squinting for disapproval) - wonders why anyone in their right mind should want to see Blaine hanging upside down.

How the BBC Affected The Forunes Of HBOS And Lloyds TSB
HBOS PLC, owners of the Halifax, and Lloyds TSB PLC are said toi be in advanced talks about a merger. We know this because the British Broadcasting Corp. says so.
Neither company would comment on what they called “market speculation.” BBC business editor Robert Peston said that the talks were “very advanced” and could be wrapped up this week.
A scoop? If so, a scoop in the financial markets that has not been confirmed. Which makes it a rumour. And rumours in the City can create problems, and fortunes.

Russell Brand’s Retarded Call For World President Obama
THE BBC is leading with news of MTV’s 25th annual Video Music Awards.
It features Britney Spears, and the news that she didn’t do anything newsworthy, and Russell Brand, the try-hard comedian and watered down Jerry Sadowitz.
Brand has got his big break. What will risqué, outrageous, cray-zee Russell do? And note that the man whose style he apes began a show in Canada with “Hell Moose-f*****s” and a gig for anti-racism with “Nelson Mandela… What a ****!”
Says Russell Brand:
“Please, America, elect Barack Obama. On behalf of the world.”

Not Jill Dando’s Killer Barry George And Tabloid TV BBC
BARRY George has had his conviction for the murder of BBC TV presenter Jill Dando quashed on appeal. He has been in prison for eight years.
Says Mr George: “I want to thank my family, my legal team, my medical team and all the people who have supported me at Belmarsh, Whitemoor and Manchester prisons, and all my supporters.”
On the BBC 10 o’clock news, this was the lead story. And twice during the feature Mr George was called an “oddball”.
Anorak cannot help but think of libelled Robert Murat, called an “oddball” by the tabloid press in its obsession with the Madeleine McCann case. He’s the Mail’s “oddball“.
Farmer Joaquim Marques was also called an “oddball” by the Daily Mirror. The Sun saw another Madeleine McCann “oddball” in a photofit.
Mick Donovan, who was allegedly found in the company of missing schoolgirl Shannon Matthews, was the Sun’s “oddball“.
Michael Jackson has been the Star’s “oddball“.
Lembit Opik, the MP, has been a Mail on Sunday “oddball“.
When did the BBC become tabloid TV?
