		Paxman is a well-known public figure, nicknamed "Paxo", which is both a contraction of his surname and a jocular reference to a popular brand of British stuffing mix.

		Jeremy Paxman (born May 11, 1950) is a BBC journalist, news presenter and author.
		Paxman is a well-known public figure, nicknamed "Paxo", which is both a contraction of his surname and the name of a popular British stuffing mix.

	screenonline: Paxman, Jeremy (1950-) Biography
		programme, Jeremy Paxman is the best examplar of the sea change in television's treatment of politicians since the 1950s, from deference to a more critical engagement and, occasionally, something close to contempt.
		Paxman was born in Leeds on 11 May 1950, and educated in Worcestershire and at St Catherine's College, Cambridge.
		Paxman later claimed that he simply couldn't think of another question, but the confrontation proved riveting viewing, and it's a technique the interviewer has used since, though never to the same extreme.

	Jeremy Paxman
		It's a scary thought but insiders believe that Jeremy Paxman could be taking over David Frost's Sunday morning slot in a new political debate show now that the BBC have decided not to renew Frost's contract.
		Although the BBC have released no details on the matter it is believed that they plan to put pushy Paxman on our screens while we're tucking in to our Sunday cereal in order to make their political shows 'feared' by politicians.
		Jeremy Paxman was born in Leeds in 1950 and studied English at St Catherine's in Cambridge before he went into journalism.

	Profile of Jeremy Paxman
		On the Monday, Paxman was charmed to receive a hand-written note from the Head Boy assuring him that the comments reported in the Observer were, of course, not directed at him.
		And although nobody is more sceptical than Paxman about the importance of television (he once described it as ‘a medium of incandescent superficiality’), he takes very seriously his responsibility to ask the kinds of questions that ordinary voters would like to ask and politicians never want to answer.
		Paxman was offered the job of hosting ‘University Challenge’ and – to the surprise of some, who thought it beneath his talents – took it.

	Jeremy Paxman - Uncyclopedia
		A former host of the Spanish Inquisition, Jeremy Paxman was sacked from the show after he introduced the red-hot-poker and extreme sarcasm rounds, which were judged by the producers as 'not suitable for a family audience'.
		Finding himself with a lot time on his hands, Paxman turned his thoughts to spiritual matters, moved to the middle east, and gathered together a loyal and fanatical band of followers who became known as the Paxmanites.
		Paxman is sometimes assumed to be amphibious, but this is not in fact the case (though he does have gills).

	FLUXEUROPA: JEREMY PAXMAN IN SEARCH OF THE ENGLISH
		Unlike George Orwell, who described English identity in terms of what proved to be rather transient habits, Paxman recognises identity as a thing of the mind and pursues its core features through foreign perceptions of the English, English perceptions of themselves, and, interestingly, English perceptions (mostly hostile) of foreigners.
		Paxman wanders down all sorts of English highways and byways, considering the influence of insularity and climate, English excellence at letters rather than art or music, the national obsession with sport, the sense of privacy and its connections with the English house, and England’s innate conservatism and distrust of intellectuals and ideology.
		And although Paxman identifies the causes of the current English soul searching (loss of Empire, devolution and European integration), he fails to consider the broader question of whether national identity has any long-term future in the face of American global culture.

		Jeremy Paxman has set himself the task of finding just what exactly is going on.
		Paxman spews out page after page of sneering, self-opinion and, since he gets to duff up politicians and be rude to students on the telly once or twice a week, we're all expected to swallow it as an intellectual study of the English people.
		One day, Paxman pulped his soap box into paper, had a dump, wiped his botty on the paper, and sent it off to be published.

	BBC NEWS \| Election 2005 \| Weblog \| Paxman v Galloway
		It's not Galloway that Paxman was unashamedly slapping in the face, it's the electorate of Bethnal Green and Bow.
		Paxman was far more sucessful inciting racial tension in that shameful interview than Galloway ever has and he should lose his position at the BBC as a result.
		I think what Jeremy is suggesting is that Galloway has unseated a strong, popular and hard working politician, who had built up an important relationship with her constituents, and who was representative of a section of society that is grossly underrepresented in Parliament.

	JEREMY PAXMAN INTERVIEWS NOAM CHOMSKY - PART 2
		Only one, unspoken word could be heard in the minds of viewers as Paxman repeatedly pressed the question - 'Oil!' From very early on in the Iraq crisis, a Media Bleat Point was quickly passed so that to suggest oil as a primary motive for the invasion was to be labelled a childish conspiracy theorist.
		Paxman's question does not qualify as a Media Herd Trap, however - media and political propaganda is unable to suppress the evidence that makes a mockery of the idea that the US is motivated by a desire to spread democracy around the world.
		Paxman, the country's premier 'attack dog' interviewer - reputed to earn at least £1 million a year - had posed a series of clichés and clumsy provocations.

		Moreover, Paxman’s insistence on ‘yes/no’ answers is further cramping the ability of politicians to explore the complexity of issues.

		However I don't quite see the relevence of this to Jeremy Paxman, nor the relevence of Jesus' words to your incident (which as far as I am aware are regarding pursuing evangelistic lines of inquiry which are fruitless).

	Turtle Election Blog: The downward spiral of Paxman
		Got back from work tonight just in time to catch most of Jeremy Paxman's half hour interview with Charles Kennedy - one in a sequence of interviews with the main party leaders.
		Paxman probably feels this is a great coup for cutting edge political media.
		I dislike the Paxman approach intensely unless directed against the hard left (Respect coalition, Labour left -wingers, Pro-Saddamites, etc)- The Kennedy interview was a fiasco.

		Paxman denies that he is always on the attack and gently reminded me that he recently got Health Minister Frank Dobson to agree with him without resorting to inquisitorial methods.
		Paxman countered that "this current Government is excessively obsessed with PR and being 'on message'if there is a message.
		Jeremy Paxman thinks the reason why U.S. journalism is less robust is that "they have a constitutional role and are a part of the process.

		Paxman and I have met perhaps three times in a quarter of a century, and two of those were in the conditions of heightened reality, hand-to-hand combat, suspended animation, armed truce and false bonhomie which characterise the Newsnight studio.
		Jeremy (if I may presume) may believe that the little good he does in the world (and I believe he would make very modest claims for his contribution), depends on his abrasiveness.
		Paxman rolls his eyes and says in effect that he has at last found someone of whom to disapprove.

	MEDIA ALERT: JEREMY PAXMAN INTERVIEWS NOAM CHOMSKY - PART 1
		This question contained the first of Paxman's Media Herd Clichés - a banal idea mindlessly repeated by the media - there were several over the course of the 8-minute interview.
		We were clearly, here, dealing with two very different mindsets - Paxman was assertive and assured, but there was a sense that his confidence was ultimately rooted in a sense of 'what everyone knows to be true'.
		Paxman couldn't disagree with Chomsky on this occasion, however, because he was not in a position to challenge the idea that intelligence agencies had widely predicted an increase in terrorism as a result of the invasion - an undeniable fact.

		Newsnight is set to be fled out because of Monday's BBC strike, with Jeremy Paxman refusing to cross picket lines and management resigned to losing their flagship BBC2 current affairs programme on the day.
		Paxman, who was due to present Monday night's edition of Newsnight, is understood to have told BBC news executives he was not willing to cross the picket lines that will be set up by broadcasting unions outside Television Centre in west London.
		Jeremy Dear, the general secretary of the NUJ, said the union was certain there would be no edition of Newsnight on Monday because BBC management had been telling journalists who were willing to work on the programme that they would be reassigned to other shows.

	Scotland on Sunday - Review - BOOK REVIEW: The Political Animal, Jeremy Paxman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Paxman appears to be unaware of this attraction, but it is one that is strong enough to overcome poor pay, hard work and being kicked from one end of the country to the other.
		It is disappointing that Paxman has been unable to deliver much in the way of insight from a privileged position of access.
		The book can still be enjoyed for its detailing of the everyday life of a politician and the absurdities of parliament, but by failing to understand its subject it cannot answer the questions it poses.

	BBC - Suffolk - Community - Who do you think you are Jeremy Paxman?
		This list tells us that Thomas Paxman, his wife Jane and their four children Benjamin, Thomas, Jane and Louisa left Suffolk in early 1836 and went to work for J R Barnes and Sons in Farnworth. They were a cotton and fustian manufacturing firm and they employed the whole family.
		The Paxmans were taken to London and then travelled on the Grand Union Canal on the Pickfords Canal Barge. The journey could have taken 2-3 weeks and they were only allowed to take their own clothing and bedding.
		It could have been that Thomas Paxman was faced with the choice of taking his family into the new workhouse or moving up North with the hope of a 'new life' and higher wages.
