Dubai Eye
Had the misfortune of listening to their so called debate on the USA and Iran this morning. Have never heard such a one sided poor excuse for journalism in my life.
By the end of it you would think that Iran was the most benevolent state in the world and that China and Russia were the democratic voice of reason in the world.

The truth, one suspects, lies somewhere inbetween.

They had callers praising China and India. Yet those are the two countries who prop up the regime in Burma because of their gas supplies.

It wasn't a debate. It was a rant.
That bloke (Chris) is too opinionated to make a good radio host. I'm going back to BBC Radio 4 in the mornings.
The Arts Show (Sat 12-2) is great though.

Re: Dubai Eye
I thought the Dubai Eye was a giant Big Wheel thingy about to be constructed at Jumeirah Beach Park? So what is the one you are talking about?

Re: Dubai Eye
it most definitely was a rant! Praising Iran but at the same time going on about how people can be arrested in the States if the declare themslves enemies of the state. He didnt mention what would happen to Iranians who did the same there. Think it would be slightly worse than being arrested!

It's a terrible station fullstop.
However, its the only talk radio station in the country, which means you occassionally have to listen to it.

Re: Dubai Eye
The old short commute in Surrey used to be a constant battle for me... Chris Moyles or Today ?

Re: Dubai Eye
A battle between Today & that moron Moyles? How can that possibly be a contest? Moyles is a <insert own most insulting & offensive word> . Wogan would have been preferable to Moyles. Even singing to yourself would be preferable...
