Paxman promotes Oh My Newsnight

[KrisRamJ]

A bloke on TV who doesn't treat us like complete idiots, there's a thing.

[cambridgegarcon]

It's all been said but I am going to re-asservate anyway: Brilliant, legend, a total refusal to put up with BS!

[pompeypirate]

Paxman for PM!

[Digginjim]

A total legend. that is all.

[Barn0]

Thank god not everyone on the tv's a moron. . .

[matrags]

Brilliant.

[moogle301]

Oohh didn't think I'd see this again, I turned on JUST at this point (don't watch much). Did I witness something unusual? I remember wondering if I had or if he was always like this and how he got away with it

When I watched again last night and he had a similar attitude about how he had to pretend to think there was any chance the election could go either way I assumed he did always speak his mind but the fact you have this little clip on here makes me think I just tuned in at key moments :p

[davifleming]

well done for saying what he really thinks, but would he have done so if he wasn't such an 'unfirable' fixture?

[elliecoffey]

what a ledgend.

[liquidgeorge]

What's wrong with someone with a bit of journalistic integrity?! He is far from arrogant, just speaks his mind. I wish more people were like that at least you'd know where you were with them in life.

[shitfuck53]

Says it like it is!!! Go on my son!!!!

[Klamath2046]

Legend :)

[TVNewsroomNZ]

twat

[msgertrudefrommage]

...hes an abrasive old bxxxxx isnt he ! lol.

[dcmtr]

Always worth watching Newsnight just in case you catch one of these moments of Paxman gold.

[moogle301]

the first time i tuned in (as it was ending) he said something about the editors pathetic attempt to become like 'animals do the funniest things' or something :p

I don't know if I'd watch lots of it just in case he said something like that again though

[moogle301]

oh whoops I had two Paxman vids open at once, I meant to comment that on the other one sorry!

[worcesterwombat]

ha ha lol right on Paxo!!

[Durialisagod]

well said

[flashburst]

Like most journalists Paxman sees that 'Citizen Journalism' is a threat to his profession. Unlike the others he's got the balls to come out and say it!

[fodsaks]

Vintage Paxman!

[TheRealEmit]

im guessing he didnt get fired

[theBlockerPH]

nope. in fact he'd even host the international version!

[zxzxzxzxZXZXZZZ]

The show is pro tory bias

[sterlingsir]

Love it

[Kwekubo]

Epic.

[jbat100]

Thank god for paxman.

[CyrusGuitar]

I feel that paxman is the last obstacle between our media becoming americanised and totally biased.

[iitzeus]

Truer words were never spoken.

[lenstonbain]

Paxman is a legend!

[vanderplonk]

He should do more shows

[chrish12345]

hes so ruddy duddy funny

[fuckwithfire1984]

lol i saw this on have i got news for you too :D classic

[lordylordlordoflords]

he's not arrogant just doesnt mind showing his contempt for liers or stupid people.

[MarkyMarkDCU]

he can be funny, but he can also be an arrogant prick as seen in his interviews with George Galloway or Martin McGuinness

[essexgal]

Fabulous stuff - saying it like it is. HURRAH! More please.

[theinquisitor]

At least he's frank unlike almost everyone on tv.

[Tengermanbombers]

Paxman = God. Now if only we had politicians with the same level of integrity...

[txdrvr]

oh paxman, have you got nappy rash again?

[MySpaceFTL]

Paxman is my God. I clapped when I saw it on Have I Got News For You :P

[torreviejalads]

He's not happy is he :)

[npecked]

Paxman on top form, I see!

... and, of course, he's right. What hope for him?

[talkhun]

Paxman is right.

[5starsnitskymatch]

he's right.

[hedjohnston]

Uh-oh.. Is someone not happy?
