Simpson doesn't believe he's biased, simply making accurate observations. Thinking Brexit will be bad is common sense, and it's not biased to report the truth, right?David Preiser (USA)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00055001852090086556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-62712057834561257332017-06-28T14:19:46.004+01:002017-06-28T14:19:46.004+01:00Possibly because he's a tax-avoiding expat, li...Possibly because he's a tax-avoiding expat, living in Dublin?John Coldwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07416613746110321189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-66429943654437617082017-06-28T05:59:56.980+01:002017-06-28T05:59:56.980+01:00I find it scarcely credible that John Simpson has ...I find it scarcely credible that John Simpson has <i>any</i> 'leavers' in his circle of friends!<br /><br />A major problem with the BBC nowadays are all these 'editors' and 'correspondents' that pad out the so-called news programmes. If the BBC was a newspaper it would be apparent that 95% of its pages are opinion and only 5% 'impartial' news and most of that sports results which we only have the BBC's word that <i>they</i> are true!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-35739723609262899262017-06-27T23:47:35.762+01:002017-06-27T23:47:35.762+01:00To be fair I think John Simpson used to be worth h...To be fair I think John Simpson used to be worth his money...more often that not his predictions turned out to be correct. Now? Well he seems to have entered his dotage. <br /><br />But I have this question...how much is he paid as "World Affairs Editor" (last time I recall him getting a BBC credit)? I'd guess at least £150K. Why can't we know the answer since it's our money??? Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
