Daniel Hannan's internet victory!

Following on from the great success of Daniel Hannan's YouTube presentation (over a million viewings!) the TV media is beginning to recognise that they were caught out. Not from getting the story, because they knew all about it and chose to suppress it from their bulletins. No, what's getting them is the sudden realisation that they are no longer the arbiters of news presentation. That has passed them by. It is bloggers like Guido Fawkes and Iain Dale who are getting the news out there.

So what we have is the internet allowing us to see a piece of political oratory which is a fair assessment of the Prime Minister's economic legacy. You may disagree with it but it was put forward cogently and with passion. The fact that Brown had to sit and listen without engaging in a response seems to be what irks the TV broadcasters. They would like to have seen a "balanced debate". This was not balanced but it was not unfair either.
