I found it MRmeatandpotato
What a complete a*se Boulton is and if that doesn't prove what we are being fed by the Tory media nothing will. I"ve just been watching one of the Lib Dems and Tony Benn in agreement about GB in the Tory press. God help us all if Cameron gets his way with the BBC, It will be Murdock for president next

Oh dear. Gordon has a face like thunder after this encounter with Adam.
And do you think you ARE any more impartial???
I had the misfortune of being stuck on a train for two hours today with a (secondhand) copy of the Sun and, combined with the recent behaviour of Boulton and Burley, I think it's pretty clear that the whole Murdoch media machine is taking their lead from Fox News. The Sun's dislike for Brown was hardly surprising, but I must admit I was taken aback by their blatant misrepresentation of the current political reality and how our parliamentary system works in order to try and create support for Cameron. Boulton isn't anything like as blatant, but he's essentially doing the same thing...

Its very different comparing one person to a huge 24/7 news channel, there are regulations that state along the lines that no news channels can broadcast any biased support towards any political party. The presenters on sky are supposed to keep their opinions to themselves and remain neutral.Reference:

Why... no one else does.... public, politicians, newspapers, etc etc,....... Isn't it a bit disingenuous to expect the TV to be impartial.Reference:

I don't make the rules. But no one can be biased when broadcasting... BBC have been dropped in it before, you just don't see sky jumping up and down saying we support conservatives.Reference:

No... but this is a brave new world.......
Well channel five kept to the rules of impartiality etc,they stated just before the election etc that they would not indulge in party politics,,,The Murdoch mob however...spits!
Feckin Fox news "Seig Heil!"
"Impartial", "Sky news", "Fox news" are words rarely seen in the same sentence.
I vowed some years ago that I would not knowlingly give a farthing to Murdoch.

Sorry I dont see the relevance of your question as I am not a political editor for an international news station
oh BTW he has just nearly threw another wobbly.........cause someone told him he cant accept that the tories DIDNT win
Thanks for posting that link Lockes! Brilliant! And I thought Campbell was one of the forces of evil before! He came across as quite reasonable there! So for political balance here then I might suggest that Adam Boulton was probably suffering from a severe case of sleep depravation? Nick Robinson today on the Beeb was beginning to behave in the same well today I felt.. although I think his affiliations are becoming known as a little partial in the same way as Boulton's.
Oh... and Eugene, I was thinking about what you've pointed out in your post as well earlier today when the Tories announced their concession regarding a referendum about a voting reform. The referendum would be termed by the Tories in such a way that the Murdoch machine could spin it into the most toxic choice available... Tories off the hook and Clegg dead in the water.

I was so disgusted with the Burley incident I've been watching the BBC on Chanel 503. It's soooo different to Sky's prejudiced and constant negative diatribe. Interesting and intelligent discussions in the studio with politicians from all parties, no screaming slanging matches, just mature adult conversations without constant interruptions from the interviewer. I don't feel as wound up as I did when watching Sky lol.

Clearly we are all partial and stupid to you Joyon. I've found, interestingly, that most of us who are debating events here can do it in a interesting and thought-provoking way despite our differences of opinions. However, you don't seem to be prepared to discuss how you feel about things, so I'd just politely suggest you join in or don't waste your time.

That's what I've found too YR. Normally I'd flick between the two news channels to see how an important event like this is reporting things. The Sky coverage of this election has made me cringe and I haven't watched it since the Sky leaders debate. Thankfully, Murdoch will be charging to read 'the Times' on-line and I expect the 'Sun' and 'Sky News' to be following sometime soon!
Sky/Fox News thrive on polemic, Alistair Campbell thrives on spin, I can see why they were both wound up but Boulton was completely unprofessional. I think (may be) the world is becoming tired of Murdoch's arrogant position as 'King Maker'. Here's hoping anyway
That is flippin hilarious
Never, ever get into a sparring match with Alistair Campbell. He wiped the floor with Boulton.

He's a total bruiser that Campbell. No wonder Blair appeared so closeted and comfy when he was President.
He never lost his temper either, which made Boulton's meltdown look even more comical and unprofessional. Loved Campbell entreating him to "have some dignity"
Just watched it again...in fairness Campbell was bang out of order. He is a sly fox.

How? He just refused to let Boulton shout him down, and tried to get his own point across, which was that Sky's boy in blue did not win outright. what's wrong with that?
All the psychological tricks he used to get Boulton to flip ,like telling him to calm down while he was still calm, insisting on telling him what his mind set was, publically outing him as a Murdoch Bot. (which is obvious!), and confuddling an exhausted hack. Shame is that they are quite matey and linked in their private lives. Bottom line is that I think Alistair Campbell is a bitch!
at the start of the clip when the coppers were outside No10-the one cop looked like he was gonna think about chasing the ice cream van like in little britain

TBH, I didn't think Boulton looked calm from the outset, and Campbell merely pushed a button that was already flashing
Anyone who doesn't want to be outed as a Murdoch droid shouldn't work for Sky. And if he's really mates with Campbell, maybe he should have either known better, or needs to choose his friends more carefully.
I think Murdock should start upgrading his staff:
Ha ha at the Murdoch puppet,totally losing on TV what a twat!

Alright then, I'll yield to your interpretation Still think Campbell's a biyatch though
