LONDON CITY

Channel Four TV News - 12/Feb/1999

Certainty level: 100%

I am positively, utterly, completely sure this item is about me. Its a bit
subtle so the objective reader might not understand my certainty. Here is
what happened. I was watching Channel Four News with Jon Snow, on the day
Clinton got off (as it were) in the Monica-gate scandal. Snow said;

[and were anticipating that the President himself will make his] first
comments after the trial in which he has now been cleared at around half-
past seven. So well have more on the historic judgment, well also be
considering [starts smiling] the winners and losers in this whole sorry
saga. Now further doubts have been....

When Snow said half-past seven, I looked at the clock on the mantelpiece
above the TV. Snow saw my glance, and in reaction to my glance at the clock,
smiled. I think he was smiling at what he perceived as my self-importance.

Usually when newscasters or radio presenters laugh at me, there is an excuse
for their laughter; usually they manage to find some reason for my
being funny; their amusement is blamed on me; it is my fault they are
laughing. And so it was with this instance; Jon Snow thought it was funny
that I should be so interested in seeing Clinton, and his half-smile while
reading the words winners and losers expresses that.

I wrote to Snow at ITN shortly after this broadcast to ask him about his
behaviour; of course, he didnt reply.
