How do you tell if a politician is lying? Their lips are moving. That’s what the old joke would have us believe anyway. Rob Burley was a senior producer on some of the BBC’s flagship political shows so he knows what makes a good (and disastrous) political interview. Ros Taylor talks to Rob about his new book, Why Is This Lying Bastard Lying to Me?: Searching for the Truth on Political TV, to find out the tricks used by politicians to get away with their little white lies.
- “Paxman just had enough, he decided he wasn’t going to play by the rules .”
- “Robin Day revolutionised TV interviews in 1958 and it’s gone downhill since then.”
- “The morning after the Brexit referendum the BBC told me not to look into the 350m bus claims.”
