Who said TV was boring....?
Adam Boulton loses it with Alastair Campbell
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XHuZqyuIS8#t=3m0s - here's a proper version of the first video, with context if you want it.
Boulton is an absolute pillock, him and Burley show Sky News to be the annexe of Murdoch's empire that you and I know it is.

In related news, can anyone tell me where to find this mysterious clip of Nick Robinson going into meltdown today?
Boulton is an odious toad who comes across as pompous and full of himself - maybe he needs an extended holiday. He really took Campbell's bait and it was lovely to see him getting really wound up.

Strikes me that Boulton has put in far too many hours recently and its showing with his short fuse.

I mentioned this before, but I think an investigation into these growing calls of Sky News Bias, would take the pressure off the presenters.
If the report comes back clean, then they will be able to shut up their complainers. If bias is found, then the editorial staff can take the flack and the Presenters can just do their job.
Adam Boulton is not there to defend the channel, and this added stress on him and the lack of sleep, and almost 24/7 reporting is starting to show.

I thought Boulton was married to Angie Hunter who (at least used to be) well up in the Labour Party?

Pretty embarrassing piece of TV, wasn't it.
Boulton made a real tit of himself with phrases like, "I actually care about this country". I haven't heard anything quite like that since that right wing freak on Faux News shedding tears about how much he loves America.
To be fair, Boulton is probably exhausted from days and days on air - but there's really no excuse. He's fallen into the Burley trap of thinking they are there "to put the other side across".
They're not. That's what the "other side" are for.
Reporters are there to report the news, and not make it.

He isn't anyone's MP. He's the former director of communications for the Labour Party.clanguk wrote:Campbell doing a good job of getting on Boulton's nerves - you would think an MP would be able to pace themselves against such an open attack - oh well at least he's not my MP (I'd be too embarrassed to admit even if he was)!!
