Over on Junkk Male RE:view, I am currently having trouble figuring out why I keep get served a rather limited number of folk as talking heads on various news issues.
This posting, on a PR/press blog I inhabit, may help answer:
Has anyone on the list ever paid to have themselves/ a client featured
as an Opinion Former on Politics.co.uk
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated - I'm considering putting a
client on there but not sure if it's worthwhile. There seem to be quite
a few high profile organisations on there.
As is my wont, I was moved to enquire:
I am sure I am woefully naive, but what is the value of being on something if it is known that the way you become an 'opinion former' (as opposed to a source of (possibly expert) opinion, which seems different) is merely to have paid enough for it?
Mind you, I am not sure the standards applied to most other talking heads featured in most other political media are that much more objective or professionally derived.

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.
Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.
I'm not too keen on 'Anon' as a handle (and the content usually explains why), so if that's what you opt for it may not make it. Sorry.
