Why does she deserve airtime on Question Time.
There are far mor important issues in life!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It really wasn't about Susan Boyle though was it... It was about the way she was treated by the Mediastablishment(c). The way a seemingly perfectly, decent person can be abused and humiliated by relatively powerful people. On the broader picture it is an indictment of our so called 'society' and just how debased it really is.There are far mor important issues in life!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As usual, Orwell had seen it coming.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prolefeed
Prolefeed is a Newspeak term in the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell. It was used to describe the deliberately superficial literature, movies and music that were produced by Prolesec, a section of the Ministry of Truth, to keep the "proles" (i.e., proletariat) content and to prevent them from becoming too knowledgeable. The ruling Party believes that too much knowledge could motivate the proles to rebel against them.

Why not ask such a question? Is the media not open to scrutiny too?
Oh yes, but I switched over during the ad break to hear answers being given about a Susan Boyle question and I must confess I thought WTF are they asking about that when we have council and European elections today, along with a Govt falling apart at the seams, huge state debt that we'll be paying for over the next twenty years etc...Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
