Paxman: TV is biased against men

Oh boo hoo, being a white middle class man doesn't guarantee you a job any more!! The poor little petals might actually have to have some talent and aptitude.

Oh, sorry just realised that the BBC is actually dominated by white, middle class men and Paxman is speaking out of his very well paid arse. What a cock.

Hee-hee, I think Paxman is going through a mid-life crisis. White middle class men have for years undermined, marginalised, patronised and bullied women and ethnic minorities in the work place. Many have reached their positions by the very fact that they are white and middle-classed and used their positions and influence to keep those whose face does not fit, down at the the bottom of the pile. Why doesn't he bleat about that and the fact that many are still doing it, albeit with more stealth?

Muppet!

I love him in many ways, but agree he does seem to be morphing into grumpy old man, and he needs to get a grip.

good lord what a load of guff

so some women have reached the top in TV- yikes boys it's downhill all the way from here obviously

yay for Mariella the voice of reason

Yes, it's like if girls outperform boys by 2% at A level or somesuch it's a fricking national emergency, but if boys do it, it's normal
I have a son btw, as well as daughters.

I did have a laugh earlier this year. A good friend of mine is a managing director in his 40's with the usual cut glass accent, house in Kew and private education, yadda yadda. Anyway, he got royally turned over by his boss - completely illegal behaviour. Grounds for constructive dismissal, unfair dismissal, the lot.

Over a bottle of wine we did laugh over the fact that because he couldn't cite a single 'minority' in which he belonged, he was totally stuffed because any tribunal payout would be minimal. We thought briefly about whether he could have gone for 'gender orientation' as a means of claiming discrimination, but he didn't think his wife would play ball..

Awooga! Troll horn.

The Daily Mash get it right.

"Paxman believes he can increase his £1 million a year salary by applying shoe polish to his face and interviewing politicians while impersonating the late Al Jolson."

"Media analyst Tom Logan said: "Jeremy Paxman has raised an important issue: Why the fuck is anyone still listening to this arsehole?"
