ITV and LBC are funded only by their giant corporate advertisers, whose mind may therefore be discerned from their output. Unsurprisingly, they are Centrism Central, from Ed Balls interviewing his own wife, to Lewis Goodall, well, just to Lewis Goodall, frankly.
Yet today, even Goodall put it to Lisa Nandy that she had lied to Parliament about Thursday's match between Aston Villa and Maccabi Tel Aviv. Outside parliamentary privilege, she retorted by calling West Midlands Police the liars. They should sue. And Sky News has made the running on this story. ITV's acquisition by Sky may not be the worst thing that could happen to it. There may be no more Balls.
Is there no way of keeping ITV British?
