On another site she resorts to swearing and name calling to someone that just expressed their opinion (obviously unless it was someone pretending to be her)<br /><br />http://www.spectator.co.uk/martinbright/3743436/yvonne-ridley-and-press-tv.thtmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041404668013008872.post-85800698238663037422010-10-16T16:38:23.349-07:002010-10-16T16:38:23.349-07:00There is no attack on islam or any other religion ...There is no attack on islam or any other religion in the article or in any of the comments.

Thank you for your response and person...Mr Gelkin,<br /><br />Thank you for your response and personal insight into Press TV, Galloway and Ridley. For your own personal information, I had a run-in with Galloway on May 21 2009 at Univ of California-Irvine when he came to speak in support of Viva Palestina. During the Q&A, I related to him several (individual) chants spoken at anti-Israel rallies across N America during the Gaza fighting ("Long-live Hitler", "Jews go back to the ovens", etc.) Galloway called me a liar. What he apparently didn't know was that all of these incidents were on YouTube as I susbsequently posted on my blog (fousesquawk).<br /><br />I regard Galloway as a despicable character.<br /><br />Obviously, we do not agree on Fox News, but that is a topic for a different discussion.Gary Fousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014739065121483409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041404668013008872.post-40278089030410759952010-01-10T02:21:21.452-08:002010-01-10T02:21:21.452-08:00I too worked for PressTV - shortly after they bega...I too worked for PressTV - shortly after they began broadcasts. I stayed with them for little under a year. <br /><br />What many of us believed at the time was a brave and worthy new venture, an alternate source of news from a troubled region, PressTV ultimately deteriorated into a vehicle for some of the most outrageous propaganda - an Iranian version of Fox News. <br /><br />You might be surprised to learn, however, that "Gorgeous" George Galloway and Yvonne Ridley are held in contempt by all but a few of the rank and file members of staff at PressTV. <br /><br />It is sometimes hard to fathom what their own personal agenda's are - but they are certainly not rooted in any 'socialist' or 'liberal' idealism.<br /><br />When Galloway and Ridley visited Tehran in 2008 they avoided any direct contact with the few remaining foreigners working there, and refused to be drawn into conversation on any of the points you have mentioned.<br /><br />Many of the newsroom staff were 'forced' to attend a function where Galloway was the keynote speaker. When they returned to the office they were highly vocal in their disgust at what they described as a "despicable" man. <br /><br />When I personally challenged the management over their callous disregard for the safety of our correspondents in war zones, and the flagrant abuse of Iran's own labour laws in the treatment of their local staff - I was told in no uncertain terms to "be careful" of my actions.<br /><br />When I tried to recruit Galloway and Ridley to the cause, they ignored my emails and almost immediately 'unfriended' me from their Facebook contacts. <br /><br />I hope your post does receive a response from Ridley - and Galloway. I am as keen to learn their positions on these issues as you doubtless are.Chris Gelkenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11099602626448523222noreply@blogger.com
