There are times when I'm really glad I don't work for the BBC. It gets a lot of flak from the government for being anti-Blair and so on, and a lot from the opposition for pandering to the government.

Just look at the whole Paxman - John Reid thing at the moment - anyone remember the Paxman - Michael Howard interview?

I honestly believe that the BBC is one of the best newsgathering outfits in the world (hell yes, I'm glad I don't live in the US) and they do a damn fine job of standing in the middle of a very difficult, unlevel playing field.
