Yesterday Owen Jones wrote the silliest article ever written.
He claimed there was more Right-Wing bias at the BBC than Left-Wing.
Yet, just after I finished reading the article, BBC had appointed a Labour candidate as Economics Editor for political show Newsnight.(http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-London/2014/03/17/BBC-Appoint-Labour-Candidate-as-Economics-Editor-of-Flagship-Politics-Show)
Rather embarrassingly Owen has ignored this fact, and the fact that the BBC even has admitted to Left-Wing bias.
I think the reason Owen probably wrote the whole thing is because when he was on Newsnight, Andrew Neil didn't really let him talk, even though we just watched a 4 minute video of him talking. In fact Owen Jones, the Left-Wing commentator, and Labour supporter, is invited on the BBC more than anyone else.
So if the BBC is biased to the Right, why does he keep getting asked on? (Unless the BBC can't the difference between Left and Right.)

Political Slips
Since 2010 both the Government and Shadow Cabinet have had a few slips, and here is my favourite top 5 boobs:
1. Pasty Tax. For a while it was the battle of the pasties when George Osbourne introduced the pasty tax. All front bench politician's trying to out do each other by going to Greggs and having one for the cameras 'Say Cheese!'
2. Then there's David Cameron during Prime Ministers Question's (PMQs) telling Labour MP Angela Eagle to 'Calm down dear'. Think it's safe to say that Angela did not see the funny side of it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-13207256
3. Then we have David Cameron (again) during another PMQs saying to Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls "I wish the Shadow Chancellor would occasionally shut up and listen to the answer." Ed Balls embraces Labour's colours and goes a a nice shade of red

4. Another PMQ session, this time it's Ed Miliband's turn (to gurn) as David Cameron shocked him with a new statement on the hacking scandal, it's fair to say Eddie M wasn't expecting it

5. Of course we can't leave out old Boris Johnson. During a trip to have a debate about the up and coming Mayoral elections, whilst in the lift Johnson turned to Livingstone and ranted that he was a "Fucking liar!"
So there it is, my favourite top 5 political slips over the past 4 years. Hope you enjoy!
