CORRESPONDENT Alistair Coe (HAS, Aug 21) can rest assured that he is not the only one who is absolutely fed up with the unremitting bias of political correspondent Rob Merrick.

One would have hoped the new Government would be given some time to reverse the dire situation it inherited before its policies were denounced. I sometimes get the impression if any of these policies were successful Mr Merrick would be devastated.

In fact, the bias is so unremitting that one can only assume he is given the role of deliberately winding up Mr Coe, me and all the others who are so fed up with it.
