Daily Mail: Reports that Sir Paul McCartney is in negotiations to do an interview with the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳. ()
The Telegraph: "Why can't newsreaders just read the news... when they are not trying to become stars, they are always flirting with each other to demonstrate their mucilaginous on-screen chemistry." ()

Blimey! Something in the Telegraph I agree with.
I blame Morecambe and Wise for the gradual erosion of news coverage. ;)
Turning them from people who deliver the news stories to people who believe the are the story has turned the news into a joke. It's becoming a cliche, but The Day Today was a satire not a blueprint.
"The News" has become the "The Performance" with a loud and lengthy introduction,a loud and lengthy exit, a large and costly production team and personal opinions and/or opinionated commentators thrown in from time to time.
Within living memory th Beeb did a much better job using one man.
