James Partridge reading Five News 17 November 2009

[21433H]

how i wish more people with facial imperfections were shown on mainstream media as the normal people they are, it would do so much to reduce the social stigma felt by too many disfigured people. when people stare at me nowadays i ask if they want a photo. some blush and look away and some make a spiteful comment , and they think their more superior than me?

@21433H me too. How I wish that people wit facial disfigurement were more seen in the society and accepted than being despised and laughed. Me too im kind of disfigure and it make me sad how I'm ignored and reject in my everryaday life. That make me somewhat scare of the people reaction.

I would fully support someone with facial disfigurements reading the news...if they were good enough to do it. However, regardless of his looks, James Partridge does a terrible job here - he is faltering, amateurish and uncomfortable on screen.

Let him be regular and remind us at least once a day of the value we shouldn't forget... until nobody finds people like him special.

I hope he become regular on air.. Good Luck James~!

James did a great job. This should happen more often IMO. Well done to channel 5 for having him on to read the news.

Let's hope we see him again soon!

He looked a bit stiff but good for a beginner.

[DavithRedway]

Awesome.

Thankyou Mr. Partridge for reading the news so professionally. You and channel 5 are to be congratulated. Excellent work.

I think if it is customary to see these things on TV we will improve and we will have less bias
