OCTOBER'S I.C.s - SARAH MONTAGUE

*
That just leaves the guys and gal from the Today programme - the Beeb's flagship for bias. No Ed Stourton in October, so let's begin with Sarah Montague. Here are her I.C.s for a quiet October:
*
28/10 Liam Fox Conservative 0.7
01/10 Bob Ainsworth Labour 0.5
15/10 David Willetts Conservative 0.4
22/10 Ken Livingstone Labour 0.3
28/10 Vince Cable Lib Dem 0
21/10 David Kidney Labour 0
28/10 John McFall Labour 0
28/10 David Heathcoat-Amory Conservative 0
*
The averages here are:
*
Conservatives - 0.37
Labour - 0.2
Lib Dems - 0
*
Sarah seems to mostly interview people from the Left, but here nonetheless are her super-averages for the last 5 months, showing an inclination against the Right:
*
UKIP (2) - 1.15
Conservatives (11) - 0.65
Labour (24) - 0.53
Lib Dems (13) - 0.36
Greens (1) - 0
*
As for her treatment of UKIP, I think this post of mine is strongly suggestive of a certain attitude: http://beebbiascraig.blogspot.com/2009/09/sniggering-at-nigel-farage.html
