BBC's coverage of student demo's hits new low

What's worse: the police dragging a disabled person from a wheelchair or the attempts of the BBC to justify it?

If anyone is in any doubt about the bias of the media, this clip of the interview of the BBC with Jody McIntyre, whom has cerebal palsey and is in a wheelchair, will settle any doubts.



























My personal favourite lines were those where the interviewer accused Jody of provoking fully kitted out riot police by "rolling towards them" and that as he described himself as a revolutionary, he was surely worthy of a beating for being a trouble maker. Hats off to Jody who not only manages to deal with this blatant attempt at smearing him but also respond to raise the wider political points.
