Guido on Newsnight - A Review
Earlier on today I voted that Guido should take part in a Newsnight panel discussion.
Well, I'm glad I did. I'm a fan of Guido, I enjoy his blog and I'm glad he does what he does. However, his appearance on Newsnight was piss poor.
Ok, so Micheal White was amazingly smug (more than he needed to be), but Guido was nervy and struggled to get his words out. Not the demeanor of a revolutionary. It probably shows why the web is his best medium, to be honest, or as my mate Jason says, "Austin, you have a face for Radio".
The accusation's Guido makes are probably valid (re: the westminster back scratching), hence my reading his blog at least as much as any "mainstream" site. We're blessed to have both, and it was worth it just to see Paxman get properly pissed of.
One thing did occur, Guido's reputation is completely tied to the Lord Levy issue. If there are no charges, he'll end up looking like the kid crying that the game isn't fair. If there are charges, Micheal White will look like a first class pratt.
Fun either way!
Isn't his reputation also based on the Smith Institute story?
