“Incredibly, the BBC judged the pre-recorded stunt fit to be broadcast on radio,” gasped a Daily Mail leader column on Tuesday about the Russell Brand/Jonathan Ross affair.
“Do they care nothing… about the sensibilities of ordinary listeners and licence-fee-payers?” added the editorial.
And in an op-ed piece, Sir Gerald Kaufman condemned the BBC for allowing transmission of the “deeply unpleasant” item.
Meanwhile, a certain newspaper decided that it was not so unpleasant that it couldn’t be played on its website, by means of a YouTube video of the offending phone calls to Andrew Sachs, plus a transcript.
Which newspaper website apparently cared “nothing… about the sensibilities of ordinary listeners” and rebroadcast the “disgusting” and “outrageously offensive” item?
Why dailymail.co.uk, of course.
