I don't listen to his show [and that's honest I am not one of Bangla's imaginary clandestine O'Brien listeners lol] but earlier I did see a video clip of O'Brien in full rant flow, it has left me wondering if he is actually MAD.

There's no need to listen Billy. The topics are so few and far between they are on a loop. He's probably going through a mid-life crisis. Reports of Trump groping women probably sends his imagination into troubling areas.

Well, I am now two weeks into my O'Brien boycott and I must admit I feel a lot better.
I do have a sneaking feeling what is making him rather more cranky than usual. The devastating incisive Newsnight interviewer is sitting at home fulminating to his adoring fans whilst a proper journalist is sent to the US to cover the election.

Wasn't it Mike Rackabit that thought O'Brian would one day have a complete meltdown on-air?

Perhaps JOB's 15 minute rantings should be renamed 'The vagina monologues'

iain dale is not that different , other than you share his politics rather more than JoB's. in fact they all behave similarly with differing degrees of 'sophistication'.

He only acts kinda MAD when discussing Mr Trump or Mr Farage. Shallow & unkind thought - but there might well be a full melt-down..... if ....come 10.00 am tomorrow, there is a President Trump

It is strange that he never gets to host any of the election results programmes. You'd think, with his vast political insight and role on a BBC flagship news programme, he'd be a shoe-in to anchor an election night special.

When Iain Dale and Nick Ferrari take calls, they allow the callers to express views alternative to their own. One of Ferrari's catchphrases is when, having had a discussion with a caller whom he clearly disagrees with, he says "well, it's a view" and then continues.
There is a difference between challenging callers in strong terms (arguing the points they make, having a heated discussion) which is what Nick Ferrari and Iain Dale do with some of the callers they disagree with, and being outright disgustingly rude to people of a different view, like James O'Brien. O'Brien can't cope with alternative viewpoints, and refuses to have them on his show these days without belittling them and mocking them. |

Can't remember if you're one of the non listening devotees but whatever what you said is not true. |

He would kill to be invited to do it, if he was the 'serious journalist' he professes to be.
William Hickey and computer games columns notwithstanding. , I don't think objectivity without beating about the bush is James's' style for the big media reporting where factuality is more in demand. I venture, his cross-examination and delving into semantics would see him lost up his own fundament in due process....

Cue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWM4-Eg4GT8 Edit: I've spent half my life in being taken as Bonnie Tyler. It freaks me out, as it did my late mother! Oh well, perhaps it's something to do with the Welsh.

I didn't listen today. I thought 'binary' was the word of moment?
