		Rod Liddle (born 1960) is a controversial British journalist best known for his term as editor of BBC Radio 4's Today programme.

	'Dispatches: The New Fundamentalists
		Liddle claimed that Evangelicals’ views are at odds with ‘mainstream liberal Britain’, but he bothered to define neither the history, development and present shape of Evangelicalism, nor what ‘liberal Britain’ actually denotes.
		Liddle also secured an interview with two pupils from Emmanuel City Academy, Richard Almond and Adam French, in which they reported some of their teachers as asserting an equivalence of educational value between creationism and Darwinian evolution, even while counselling pupils to take the Darwinist line ‘for exams’.
		Although Liddle angrily hounded McQuoid, never once in the whole documentary did he point out that young earth creationists are a minority among British evangelicals, that the majority believe in an old earth, and that many are theistic evolutionists who essentially accept Darwin’s account of origins and integrate that with their evangelical faith.

	Bookslut \| Too Beautiful for You: Tales of Improper Behavior by Rod Liddle
		I’ll even give a nod of approval to Liddle’s habit of jumping perspective between story arcs from third-person in one tale to first-person for another although whether it’s a calculated technique or a distracted one is anyone’s guess.
		Liddle, a former speechwriter for Labour, has been the bad boy of British radio with a stint on the BBC’s Today program that ended in resignation reportedly because of his outspoken column in The Guardian.
		Despite their drawbacks and intimate failures in places, at least Liddle is brave enough to stalk into the psychic wilderness and work it out.

		Rod Liddle (born 1960) is a British journalist best known for his term as editor of BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
		Liddle was a member of the Socialist Workers Party in his youth but worked between 1983 and 1987 for the Labour Party Shadow Cabinet.
		Liddle was appointed Editor of the daily early-morning Today Programme in 1998, partly as a result of a high-profile attack on his main rival by Alastair Campbell, the press spokesman for Tony Blair.

	Rod Liddle is a man for Today \| St Opinion \| Opinion \| Telegraph
		Rod Liddle is a brilliant journalist under whose editorship the Today programme has gone from strength to strength.
		Liddle's eclectic and amusing column enables us to see something of where he is coming from, and it is a pity that the BBC has said he must choose between that and his job at Today.
		Liddle may sound distressingly modern and hip and self-advertising, but at heart he is one of us: a cussed, free-born Englishman who will not be brow-beaten by timid, politically correct conformists.

	Channel 4 - Can you believe it? - The New Fundamentalists
		Rod Liddle investigates the evangelical Christians who tell teenagers that contraception won't protect them and that homosexuality is wrong – and discovers what children are taught in the state schools they run.
		As Rod Liddle discovered, these three schools teach evolution, for which there is a mass of evidence, as if it were a 'faith position', giving equal weight to the Bible story of the world being created in seven days.
		Rod Liddle argues that, by replacing doubt and debate with simplistic certainty, they are in conflict with Britain's liberal democratic traditions.

	Carrying on shamelessly
		You're not supposed to know right away whether Rod Liddle's first book of fiction, "Too Beautiful for You," is a novel or a collection of stories.
		Liddle, whose background includes a four-year stint as Labour Party speechwriter, a turn as editor for the BBC's "Today" show -- from which reception of his inflammatory column in the Guardian newspaper forced him to resign -- and now an associate editorship of the Spectator, figures prominently in Britain's media punditry.
		Liddle's real allegiance is to a notion of prose as counterforce to the depleting effect of the merely tasteful; it's his own expectant grope (for lack of a better term) toward something alive and meaningful.

	New Statesman - Fiction - Let's talk about sex
		This might seem an odd choice, given that Liddle lives in Wiltshire, but he was born in south London and the setting suits his thematic purposes.
		Liddle is less successful when he abandons pastiche and strives for something more literary.
		The story has some nice surreal touches (including a funny scene involving a nightclub full of sheep) and the extreme lassitude of the narrator is amusing (she reveals, for instance, that she only ended up giving birth to her son because she forgot to have an abortion).

	An Insomniac: The Trouble with Rod Liddle
		Liddle came across as so closed-minded, ill-informed and (to use his favourite phrase) arrogant, that it’s hard to know where to begin complaining.
		Rod Liddle seems to promote the idea, liked by many theists, that atheism is a different form of religion - when it is not.
		Rod Liddle says that atheism is responsible for Stalin and Hitler, then says atheism is anyway a kind of religion, therefore: religion is responsible for all worldly ills.

	Indigo Jo Blogs: Answer to Rod Liddle on home schooling
		Liddle starts off by rubbishing Bartholomew's plans to expose his daughter to the classics by taking her to various museums and the scenes of Cézanne's paintings:
		Liddle then rubbishes Bartholomew's complaint about schools not teaching Italian, on the grounds that the language is not even in the top 30 of languages spoken in the world and is "about as much use in the wider world as Inuit or Welsh".
		Liddle's piece annoyed me considerably too, since on several occasions he doesn't seem to know what he is talking about.

		I think, from what I have read of Rod's opinion of his own profession that he regards them mostly as huge narcissists...so media monkey would be anybody who is involved in the media primarily to inflate their ego and who jump about accordingly.

	[ Empowerment4Women ›› Entertainment ›› Reviews ›› Book Reviews ... (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Rod Liddle's debut novel, Too Beautiful for You, is a strange and dark menagerie of tales, which weaves together characters on the edges of society, captured by desires.
		Though at times Liddle held my attention along some twisted tale of a man caught in a train wreck, so desperate to keep his infidelities from his wife that he chooses death over honesty; though he may have piqued my interest every once in awhile in some macabre tale, I did not enjoy this book.
		Liddle is known for his extreme points of view from his years as a columnist and that has perhaps bought him some of his fame.

		Liddle then attempts to discredit Mr Reid and fails to highlight that DC Reid is no stranger to deliberate racism having once successfully sued the police and successful in obtaining ‘an admission [from the police force] in which it found itself culpable of issues relating to race’.
		Before his departure from editing BBC Radio 4’s Today programme in 2002, he justified the number of appearances BNP leader Nick Griffin had made on the programme by saying in the New Statesman that he believed ‘people with strong opinions should be given the chance of asserting themselves’, and that making mischief was his delight.
		However Liddle who is full aware that Griffin has a conviction for inciting race hatred and holocaust denial choose not to mention it in his justifications.

		Liddle left Today 12 months ago, but there are members of his former team who believe that he, and the newsroom culture he fostered, bear some responsibility for the chain of events which culminated in the death of Dr David Kelly two months ago.
		A whole generation of Liddles are running Britain just now: clever boys and girls with working-class roots who went to university and landed well-paid professional jobs and staved off a sense of class betrayal with a system of social and political ideals.

	A case of too Liddle, too late? \| the Daily Mail
		This may come as news to Rod’s attractive, blonde fiancee Alicia Munckton, 25, the woman who famously replaced Rachel, 44, his partner of 11 years, in his affections and who is still waiting for him to make an honest woman of her.
		There are, as yet, no nuptials on the horizon despite Rod presenting Alicia with a princess-cut diamond ring in October 2004 and her breathless announcement that they planned to marry in a traditional Church of England ceremony as soon as his divorce came through.
		But that was all a long time ago, and perhaps, despite Rod’s comments in GQ magazine about her disenchantment with his slovenly habits and Alicia’s new-found reluctance to set a wedding date, there may yet be a happy ever after.

		The stories in TOO BEAUTIFUL FOR YOU, Rod Liddle's dazzling debut collection, sweep readers into the lives of characters whose sexual frustrations and deviant desires lead them to the very edge of acceptable behavior--and sometimes way beyond.
		Liddle presents his panoply of misfits and miscreants without passing judgment.
		The passions they harbor and the acts they commit may be shocking and scandalous, but Liddle shows that these hapless men and women are not so very different from the rest of us.

	A little Liddle on the way \| the Daily Mail
		When broadcaster Rod Liddle left his wife - the mother of his two sons - to embark on a Viagra-fuelled affair with a lissome PR girl nearly half his age, he thought he was living the dream of middle-aged men everywhere.
		Liddle himself is uncharacteristically silent on the matter.
		All of which is in contrast to the acres of newsprint in columns and magazine articles he devoted to the break-up of his ten-year romance with his wife, Rachel Royce.

		Liddle's 'suspicion' 'that there is a ghost somewhere in the machine.' As I say, a bit of a whimper.
		Liddle doesn't even seem to recognize how much danger is posed to the contemporary world by religious conviction and passion, as though this discussion about religious conviction was a merely academic exercise.
		Liddle misses a very important point though: he mentions "our need to believe in something from which we derive our notion of morality" without thinking about what it means.
