LBC assassinates Farage .. his supporters rally!



LBC radio’s James O’Brien did the same kind of character assassination on Nigel Farage yesterday as Eddie Mair did on Boris Johnson during Newsnight recently.  It makes for uncomfortable viewing - see the interview here online.
(Yes, ‘viewing’ – LBC put these interviews on camera and on the interweb)
I listen to James because he’s an extremely eloquent and clever interviewer with a fairly liberal-lefty-PC outlook and Farage needed this kind of forensic interview.  But did James O’B need to be so damn personal and nasty?
The interview was illuminating, in a way, but the viewers’ comments even more so – Farage supporters still support Farage: the man, the policies and the radio victim.

Here are a few:
What an absolutely narrow-minded and biased idiot James O'Brian has shown himself to be in this interview. Another disgrace to the UK media.
That was by far the best live radio interview!! James just made my weekend brighter. We now know more than we did know about Farage and his dealing with far right European clubs. Well done James
James O'Brien how does this guy manage to hold down a job on LBC. Useless.
James is fantastic !! He put farrrage in his place
Because he is popular with the lefties listeners.
I hate bullies. James O'Brian never gives Farage a chance to speak. Let's just give him a programme where he talks to himself. Sack him he is such a self egotistical bully.
He does talk to himself for half his program, the rest of the time he is abusing his callers then cutting them off once he has got the last word. He's an appalling presenter and I hate having to switch off LBC between 10 and 1.
Strewth, I thought you were going to interview Nigel, didn't realise the voice we were actually going to hear was yours, what an absolutely appalling interview, you are so naive James hence Nick and Ian enjoy the lions share of interviews.

You keep saying you don't understand James, your right, you don't, listening to you is a sad and freighting thing, sad because you are aggressively naive and freighting because you think your right to treat a party leader who voices the fears many people have with such distain, immigration is THE topic James and you simply dismiss any individual who disagrees with your school boy idealistic view.

Until this point, you cast your views as idealistic and a bit 'university' as a way of diluting what you really think. the look in your eye whilst interviewing Nigel speaks volumes....you represent a typical armchair politician, completely rigid in view and unable to even engage with any alternative, your inflexibility is the reason were in political lockdown, at heart James, your a communist, just admit it on air so we can all relax knowing who you really are....at least we could respect you..!!
I always find myself becoming very irritated every time that man interviews anyone with an alternative view, he needs to grow up..!!
I always end up turning LBC off when James comes on - he likes the sound of his voice far too much and given his background is that of a privileged public schoolboy, personally I find him both patronising and out of touch - his bias is absurd.

I suspect it's the nature of talk radio - for the quieter spots better to have a marmite character than someone balanced.
The LBC management & Producer should be ashamed of themselves to allow such a one-sided debate by James O’Brian during this mockery of a so-called interview this morning!
It was very plain to see & hear for most listeners that James O’Brian only likes to hear his own opinions during this farcical totally biased interview.... Shame on you LBC for allowing this type of one-sided interview this morning!
What a waste of what could have been an educational and interesting interview. James O'Brien has gone down in my estimations.

Go on James let's stay with the parties that has destroyed our pensions,wrecked our nation,taken us into wars. Yet Nigel has said we need to take back our borders.
You have made me want to join ukip. James you have shown us how arrogant you are



Will James O'Brien hold the same character assassination debates with Ed Miliband and David Cameron? Don't hold your breath folks!
