The shine is coming off Evan Davis and my hopes that he would soften the left-wing bias of Jim and John are fading. This morning's political interviews provided further evidence than Evan is starting to go down the Naughtie route. The interviews with Labour's Lord Myners and the Conservatives' Michael Gove lasted almost identical lengths, but whereas Lord Myners was only interrupted twice (I.C. of 0.4) Mr Gove was interrupted six times (I.C. of 1.2). Moreover the highly sceptical tone of Evan's questioning of Michael Gove was not matched by his much more reverent questioning of Paul Myners, as you can hear for yourself:

Apart from Andrew Neil
ReplyDeleteand Jeremy Clarkson (! ), I guess they all have to toe the line to hold on to their jobs. Evan is a rare animal at the BBC as he has a brain so disappointing if he is going in for Tory-bashing.
Maybe it's because he's been paired so often with James Naughtie recently. Naughtie would be a bad influence on even the most unbiased of BBC interviewers!
