They talked about Jon Snow's questioning of the situation on The TV Show today and the blackout as a whole, though the editor from C4 News is obviously more suited to being behind the camera than in front of it - she could barely string a sentence together.
Her basic defence was though that interviews are either set up where you have guests for and against something, like the blackout, or the interviewer has to provide the alternative opinion - to which David Mannion quickly responded that C4 had three guests who all agreed with the blackout because there simply isn't anyone they could find who didn't.

Damian Grammaticus was flown in to cover.
Why does that Rolf Harris King of Caratacus song always pop into my head when his name is mentioned.
I'm tempted to make a joke about wanting to take some pictures of the fascinating witches who put the scintillating stitches in the bridges of the boys who put the powder on the noses on the faces of the ladies of the hairroom of the army base of Prince Harry, but being too late as he's just passed by.
However, I shall not.

I see there is a special 'Harry in Afghanistan' programme airing on BBC1 tommorow at 1pm in 'most regions'
Firstly, why now days late?
Plus, viewers in Yorkshire, Yorkshire & Lincolnshire, North East & Cumbria and North West regions won't see this as we will be watching a different Harry, Mr Gration at this time

Well it's only a couple of days after the story broke, and also part of the deal was Harry agreed to an interview after he returned, but whether this will be done by then, or indeed done at all considering the blackout broke down I don't know.
I was surprised actually ITV didn't do a Tonight special yesterday, though then again I suppose they packed everything they had into the Evening News and News at Ten on the Thursday.

Don't speak too soon, there's probably a Tonight Special on the way next week.

The Interview is already done. Sky News will broadcast it from Midnight, tonight. - I guess N24 will do the same.

Yes there is a promo, but unfortunately for them Alistair Leithead, their Kabul correspondent, was on holiday this week. After the story broke Damian Grammaticus was flown in to cover.
Doesn't the promo say 'permanently based'? If so, then it's a lie...?

I seem to recall he's World Affairs, sometimes called 'Developing World Correspondent' so I suppose he must spend a fair amount of time in Kabul as part of that.

The "permanently based" line refers to the fact that the BBC have a bureau in Kabul, and a correspondent posted there full time, compared to other broadcasters who only send journalists in for specific assignments, and have no full-time permanent presence in the region. Alastair Leithead is the full time, permanent, Kabul correspondent at the moment - and he is permanently based in Afghanistan.
However, like all of us in the world of work, journalists are allowed to have holidays, and these can - amazingly enough - be taken overseas. In this case it was obviously decided to cover the region from the nearest other bureaux, rather than deploy someone in Kabul to replace him.
