OCTOBER'S I.C.s - JEREMY PAXMAN

*
Newsnight's master of ceremonies Jeremy Paxman was rampant throughout much of October, and among his many memorable encounters was a highly entertaining tussle with Boris Johnson (where Boris turned the tables and the Newsnight team were accused of tinkering with the tape to save some of Jeremy's blushes!) and a catfight with the odious Denis MacShane over the sex-trade.

20/10 Denis MacShane Labour 2.7
07/10 Phil Woolas Labour 2
19/10 Peter Hain Labour 1.7
05/10 Boris Johnson Conservative 1.6
05/10 Theresa May Conservative 1.5
29/10 Jeremy Hunt Conservative 1.4
07/10 George Osborne Conservative 1.4
06/10 Chris Grayling Conservative 1.3
12/10 Sir Stuart Bell Labour 1
12/10 Tony Wright Labour 1
21/10 Barbara Follett Labour 1
29/10 Gary Titley Labour 0.9
13/10 Sir George Young Conservative 0.6
07/10 Bob Stewart Conservative 0.6
28/10 Shaun Woodward Labour 0.5
28/10 Gerry Kelly Sinn Fein 0.3
19/10 Ed Miliband Labour 0.2
29/10 Malcolm Rifkind Conservative 0
28/10 Bob Ainsworth Labour 0
13/10 Anne Begg Labour 0

The averages for October are:
*
Conservatives - 1.05
Labour - 1
Sinn Fein - 0.3
*
The figures here provide no proof of bias. What about the 56 interviews I've reviewed since June? Well, nor do these:

SNP (1) - 2.6
Labour (34) - 1.39
Conservatives (15) - 1.38
Lib Dems (5) - 0.98
Sinn Fein (1) - 0.3
*
The remarkably similar scores between Labour and the Conservatives, with the Lib Dems not far behind, is very striking. That is what all these results should look like!!*
