I was listening to John Humphrys on R4 on Friday morning, someone who I normally regard as a level headed and unbiased presenter. His 14 year old schoolgirl crush gushing worship of Mandela was a mixture of embarrassing and hilarious. I remember it being the same when the man was released from prison, a newsworthy event but the BBC went way over the top with it's coverage to the annoyance of most of it's viewers and listeners.
