Georgie Porgie Pudding and Pie, Kissed the Girls and Made them Cry

I may have mentioned this already, but George Stromboulopopopopopopopopopoopopopopoulos
is my hero, and The Hour really is a great tv show. Last night he had the guys from Iron Maiden and Michael Ignatieff on the show, and treated them both with the same critical, journalistic manner while interviewing them ... friendly, yet in your face and not afraid to ask questions that will undoubtedly get them riled up. Some people may not like his style, but I think it's quite admirable that CBC and George have managed to create a news show that has Muchmusic-style editing but with a good dose of humour and the occasional biting remark ("Many nations have now been able to create functional nuclear weapons, yet only one company has the market on MP3 players") I think it's great marketing, because they have managed to make news cool again (if it ever was in the first place) and target an age group which would normally not watch CBC or any other news show, for that matter.
