Just who do they think they are?

White middle class men on daytime television I mean. Just who gave them the right to be so condesending and rascist and downright arrogant? I'm not talking about Phillip Schofield though, oh no, he's lovely, I'm talking about other types who aren't quite as sucessful or happy such as Jeremy Kyle and that bloke off 'The Wright Stuff'.

I have just watched a rascist, narrow minded tirade at white working class people, from a white s0-called middle class man, who thinks that because he's on the telly he has the god given right to talk over people, tell them they're inferior and completely disregard any opinion other than his own (including that of his fellow presenters) because he's the one with the 'power' to cut callers off if he doesn't want to hear them.

Who does he think he is, his argument was thin and based on his uninformed tiny little mind on a power trip. If he had a slight bit of intelligence, he would listen to his callers and get a bit of informed debate going on. But instead, he couldn't get past his own arrogance and proceeded to wind people up by shouting over then, and cutting them off when he'd said his piece.

What was interesting though, was his respect for the black people on the show. He branded everyone on his panel, as middle class because of thier jobs as journalists, writers or politicians. However, the black comedian, who is obviously earning a fair wage (since that's how he judges class) was asked "As a black working class man, do you think white people have a right to winge?!" Trying to be politically correct, because he knows there are laws against racism now was the only thing stopping this man from cutting off anyone who mentioned their race while on the phone.

What happened to informed public debate, surely shows such as this should be the sounding board for it. Not an opportunity to give a man a microphone and a power trip in the name of entertainment.
