    Very sad to learn of the death of my friend and one-time colleague Brian Walden. Always wise and witty. A wonderful interrogator of politicians, especially on Weekend World. With Robin Day, he invented the British political interview style. Emulated but not matched to this day.

    This brat took his Koch Brothers Campus Clickservative Decoder Ring onto the BBC to talk to an actual conservative who asked polite, informed questions, which caused the ill-equipped Shapiro to melt down. Hang your heads in shame, US cable news.
