Kay Burley now watcheable?

Don't get me wrong. I'm not suggesting Kay Burley has become any better at her job. That would seem an impossibility to me. Her right wing bias, corpse hunting, unprepared, uninformed and unintelligent reporting, with particular reference to her live interviews with unsuspecting fools, remains unchanged. It might be getting worse.

But I can watch her now. Because she's become a parody of herself. That pointed nose, so happy to sniff out a disaster in any situation and the shrieking voice asking stupid questions no longer grate. In fact one takes pleasure in them, all the gaffes, embarrassing moments and nonsense. Each is weighed against the others and shared like a tasty morsel with friends over twitter or whatnot.

Unusually, I think I know the exact moment when things changed. It was, of course, the interview she gave during the election during which she was heckled. "Sack Kay Burley. Watch the BBC." was the cry, and followed by the classy, "Sky News is shit. Watch the BBC."

I'd like to thank that protester or protesters and shake him or them by the hand. I'd probably buy him a meal if he isn't a vegan (or they aren't).

And I think we should take it further. Go and find yourself some pompous buffoon, a puffed up poser, an idiot doing their job badly and shout at them "You are shit. Watch the BBC." This needn't be on camera but that's always better isn't it. Do this persistently until they stop. If they cry you get double points.

Piers Morgan, Simon Cowell, George Osborne, and tens of thousands of British shop workers and council officials take note. And Noel Edmunds.
