Radio 5

Middle class news throughout the day.

Pretty good sports coverage in the night.

But the news coverage......why do I bother listening to it!!  They are so naive.  They have no idea about the real world.  They really think that the world of Politicians and financial markets are the real world.  That all of us care what goes on in Parliment.  That me and the rest of my council estate give a damn that some Tory MP has slagged off a Labour MP who has then had a go back etc., etc.........

But they have been trying to be more 'tabloid' of late.  OK a better description should be 'Argumentitive for the sake of being argumentitive'

An example could be:

Presenter: So you've created a clean, free fuel, Mr Smith?

Mr Smith: Yes. Anyone can make it, it's free and doesn't harm anyone

Presenter: Very good, BUT WHAT ABOUT ALL THE COAL MINERS,THE JOBS THAT WILL BE LOST IN POWER STATIONS, WHAT ABOUT THEM HEY???

Mr Smith: but......

Presenter: All those families that you are ruining, what about them hey?

Mr Smith: but...clean fuel...free..

Presenter: Doesn't matter. Too many lives ruined, you heartless bastard.  Phone in and let me know what you think of this family destroyer.  And now the news

Get the idea?  All the time.  It's a bit embarassing at times.  I think they are trying to be cooler but these middle to upper class presenters, posh Londoners just make fools of themselves.
