Andrew Neil is slammed by a 10-year-old schoolgirl during sugar tax debate
Daily Mail
I found this article interesting because not only is a well-known TV broadcaster being slammed on TV but because he is being slammed by a 10-year-old.
Veteran broadcaster Andrew Neil was "left stunned" during a debate about the sugar tax on children's channel CBBC when a 10-year-old girl demolished his argument and suggested he wasn't 'educated properly enough' to understand healthy living. The article describes the young girl as a "tough cookie" as she pulls out stats and statistics from her note.
I found that this article completely voids the perception that young people do not want to get involved with politics. Although some commentators argue that this was staged for the British Public, the embarrassment on Neil's face says so otherwise.
This article is published in the Daily Mail which normally has a right wing stance as it is a conservative paper and this article appears to be undermining the child, giving the impression that she doesn't know what she is talking about
This would be a good, clear example of representation of age in my Media AS Exam
