Apparently he used to be a real reporter with legitimate news organizations, but then began to fancy himself a playboy and lost his cred. Sort of like a cross between Geraldo Rivera and Jerry Springer, only not so intelligent as Geraldo and not as classy as Springer. Which is to say a real low-life National Enquirer type of "reporter."
I wish the British weren't so reserved, so I could find out the truth. These are the only British opinions of Neil that I could find:
Andrew Neil
...is a cunt
Andrew Neil, for the roasting he gave Devil's Kitchen,
is a cunt.
is a cunt.
Nominated by The Rt Hon. Grim Reaper
although counter-cunted...
Devil's Kitchen, for being a
surrender monkeying prick of a cunt.
Thanks matey, for a Fanfare for the Common Man.
Nominated by Brickbat, seconded by Fidothedog
I wouldn't have let that cunt, Neil, browbeat me into apologising for telling the truth!
'Counter Cunted', interesting concept.
I'd pay good money to see someone "trim the lamps" one of these bullying, hectoring interviewers ..
People like Neil, Paxman etc ... They seem to believe that because they've become "celebs" they're bombproof ..
A quick smack in the old "snot-box" might just serve to remind them how fortunate they are to lead such cushy, over-paid lives ..
Well, I don't know. The feelings about him seem to be mixed, no? Do any of YOU know who he is? Help me out here.
Still investigating British blogs for more information on who this Andrew Neil is. One says he is now working for the BBC part time, doing one of their parodies of the news, but still working part-time at The Guardian at night cleaning toilets.
ReplyDeleteThis has to be an inside joke. Who is this guy? Is he really a journalist or not real at all?
Enquiring minds want to know.
Further research has convinced me he is an actual real person.
ReplyDeleteI'll see your dead Chicago voter and raise you three blind Obama supporters.
I see him almost every day.
ReplyDeleteIs this a joke? Finding info on him is easy (of course, I don't use Google, though, but Alta vista):

Yes, Stephanie. Joke. No need to Google (Or Alta Vista... are they really still afloat?). But it goes much deeper than just wanting to disparage him. I want to expose him for the posturing America-hating overrated dumbass that he is.
ReplyDeleteAnd I will.
