OK here goes ... #LBC #T4TM

I often torture myself by listening to LBC to try and understand the mindset of others.

As many of you probably agree its shows are generally anti-Labour and virtually always anti Corbyn.

I HAVE A STORY TO TELL ABOUT EDITORIAL. 1/x

LAST NIGHT 13-MAY at 10.30 PM. I WAS PHONED BY AN LBC RESEARCHER.

She asked me 'would you like to ask a question on LBC tomorrow morning'. OK ! Great 😄 EXCEPT the conversation got a bit weird. 2/x

I put together a question over a pleasant longish chat and then she honed the question for me into something more 'punchy' and slightly removed from other areas I wanted to ask about.

3/x

I agreed to ask the question - with a mind to change it when they phoned me this morning - but the caller / researcher this morning just called me to rehearse the exact question that they wanted asking. 4/x

I don't know whether they are preparing question for their guest to have answers to (which is my suspicion)

or

They are try to hit the guest with hard hitting questions. (Which I don't think they were)

5/x

I decided to not go ahead with my question because I don’t want to be part of this sort of set up.

I know what LBC stand for and am always suspicious of their motives.
