On North West Tonight, which is a regional Beeb news program
in the early evening.
A piece about five minutes long which I think is one of a series
on Olympic competitors. This one featured Phil Babb who will be
competing in Prone rifle.
Bit about when he took it up, fair bit of footage at his club
(Appleton) of him practising and giving a brief run through of
what it's all about.
Totally unbiased, no snide comments and treated as any other
sport, all very positive. The clincher though was when the female
co-presenter (not a regular viewer so didn't catch her name)
said after the item finished that she had qualified as a "pro
marksman" in rifle.
Quizzed at the end of the show by her partner as to when and how.
She got it at a summer school in the States in a scheme run by
the NRA.
Apart from an "I'd better not upset you" comment this also went
by without any raised eyebrows.
It's not that long since an admission like that could have been
close to professional suicide for a media presenter.

Presumably professional suicide would be ending up working
for North West Tonight<G>. Still, good to hear about something
positive (for a change).
