On the phones, Thursday
- 18 May 06, 09:54 AM
A selection of the 1,670 audience phone calls received by the ±«Óãtv in the past 24 hours.
• Re Radio 2 news bulletin: "I was annoyed that the presenter used metric measurements instead of imperial measurements to describe the height of Ben Nevis."
• Re Ten O'clock News: Caller felt that the report about the separation between Sir Paul McCartney and Heather Mills was not newsworthy. "There was more important news to focus on instead of reporting on a private matter between two people."
• Re Today programme: "Andrew Davies said that 'Baroness Thatcher ruined the country in the 1980's'. I thought this was an outrageous comment, which should not have gone unchallenged."
• Re ±«Óãtv News website: "Felt that the Chris Langham story should not be categorised under the 'entertainment' section of the site."
• Re Newsround: "A presenter referred to the sum of ?1,000 as a 'grand'. It is unacceptable to use slang on a children's programme because it sets a bad example"

Of course Chris Langham should be an entertainment story - if he was a politician, it would be a politics story.
