Channel 4 news 'anchorman' (an Amercanisation/US-isation) of Jon Snow that is embarrassingly inaccurate and overestimates Snow's record of 'toughness' and 'independence') allegedly interviewed one of Tony Blair's ritualistic cullers on Thursday 15 December 2005.

It was another platform the over-flaunted C4News gave
To another of Blair’s regular callers for culls, to save
Blair and his colluders another demand for accounting
For the abuses that they indulge in. The mounting
Calls for an end to the reign of cullers of the weak
Found no robust or memorable echo on the Snowspeak
That has now replaced whatever it was that we knew
To be interrogative reporting approach. Very very few
Of Jon Snow’s ‘anchoring’ acts conform to standards

Of truthful journalism. Whatever may be the standards?
That C4news may claim to be upholding is not any
That is based on the rights of the innocents. Not many
Of whom are represented in the expert-speak with Snow
Just as the poor badgers were mentioned by the idle Snow
Who allowed the Blairist culler ‘minister’ a long spiel?
Empty of ethics, empty as ever, only intent on the kill
