Splendid bias

Today
the BBC (proudly) posts in its headlines that Sir Elton John is in Ukraine, meeting
with top politicians and the president, to talk about the rights of gay people.
In an interview on the website, he also announces that he would like to meet
President Putin over the same matter.

First off, when you are President of Ukraine you must have more pressing priorities
than to sit down with an old artist talking about gay rights, mustn’t you?

Second, on what grounds does Elton, meanwhile looking just like a fat skeleton,
think that President Putin should sit down with an old icon of musical artistry
and exuberant decadence? Delusions of self-aggrandizement?

And lastly, but most mesmerizing, why does the BBC consider this run-of-the-mill
interview with a politically irrelevant individual front page news? Hidden agendas?

Agreekment

soundbites Posted on Mon, July 13, 2015 11:02:17

One is left to wonder aloud about the infantility and/or vanity of those world leaders that cannot wait to outdo each other to jump the gun on “personally” announcing the agreekment… to tweet or not to tweet that’s the question, apparently!

EUREKA! (to stay with Greek)

Mr. Michel, World Leader from Belgium, has expleined why he “jumped the gun”. He surmised that he was the first one to actually see that an agreement had been reached … before his colleagues had seen it! Extra-sensory endowments?
Infantility? Vanity?
