"Vine expressed admiration for Paxman, remarking on the amount of hard work he put into his Newsnight role.

"“Somebody once said to me that Paxman would sometimes spend the whole day thinking up one question. For example, the German ambassador in 1989, where he said, ‘Well, it’s not been a very good century, has it?’” Vine recalled. “I realised that he operated very much like the goal scorer who is a bit inert on the pitch for 80 minutes and then scores the goal of the season.”"

-- See? Not the slightest fucking hint that either of them knows what actual journalism would be and do in that situation.

Paxman, now ravaged by Parkinson's, says that the disease “makes you wish you hadn’t been born”. Well, I got there first: after years watching his power-serving anti-journalism being leveraged to the maximum amount possible, I have already spent decades wishing that the odious little puke had never been born.
