Sky News: Adam Boulton v Alastair Campbell
 

Further evidence of Sky News slow transformation into Fox News UK

Disgusting, unprofessional behaviour from Adam Boulton there. But this isn't the first sign that this news channel is turning into a Conservative propaganda machine

Really?, I thought he gave Alastair Campbell a taste of his own medicine, pulling him up on the spin he was trying to give out. Labour are so arrogant they think we are all idiots who believe what they say. Adam Boulton did a fine job of putting Campbell in his place and pointing out that they were a bunch of losers and that in fact Cameron had won the most seats, way, way more than Labour.

Labour are not liked in this country. Says nothing really.

But Adam's job isn't to give guests a taste of their own medicine, its to be a journalist.
When you start behaving like this you end up going down the route of Fox News and that isn't good.
Whether you are a Conservative supporter of not, you have to admit its so obvious Sky News back them, especially by certain presenters (Kay Burley, Adam Boulton), and that is not right.

Its owned by Rupert Murdoch aint it, you dont think that might have some bearing do you?

I take it you do have a remore control for your TV/satellite system?

Why not just watch a different news program/station if you dont like a particular bias?

Well unlike the BBC, Sky News are not in Labour's pocket so do not have to kow tow to them or swallow their ridiculous statements as if they are gospel. Adam Boulton clearly showed Alastair Campbell up for the lying little toerag he is - not Boulton's fault if Campbell came off worse, he shouldn't tell such porkies.

As for Kay Burley she did an excellent job the other day of demolishing the spokesman of rent-a-mob who purported to be speaking for the entire nation. We need fearless presenters and journalists like that instead of the a*se licking ones Labour usually surround themselves with.

Agreed. Very unprofessional behaviour.

At one point, Mr Boulton even yelled at Mr Campbell: 'Don't tell me what to think'.


Yes Campbell is a Utter Sod
he sets people up saying ' This is Live TV'

But he keeps telling Adam what he did not say.

I watched that.

Spike Fox News are terrible,
nothing like SkyNews.

Sky News is God awful, Spike's right on the money it is turning into Fox News.

Alastair Campbell was the guy that released the Iraq War dossiers and came up the idea that Iraq could deploy WMDs in 45 minutes.

He didnt actually come up with that figure, it was originally bandied about at Saddams Dance Party 1 (Kuwait). The 45 minutes was the minimum time assessed for the Scud to park up, cable up, update and and achieve MIF (Missile in Flight) from known Scud launch sites to the Saudia Arabian Airbases being used by coalition forces or their other favourite target, Israel.

When the Iraqi Scuds (Al Hussein) deployed in order to increase their accuracy they needed to have updated telemetry data and be launched from a hard standing, most of these launch sites were detected by satellite overpasses. So standing patrols were positioned near them when the Scud came along and started to connect up an airstrike would be called in.

There were always Strike aircraft on call to take out Scud launchers and it was pretty much guaranteed if a team called in a forward air support mission and the target was a scud you have something big heavy and explosive leaving a strike aircraft en route to the allocated target within 20 minutes.

Thing was they had evidence from the UN weapons inspection teams stating Iraq didnt have any serviceable Scuds nor did they have anything else capable of throwing CBR (Chemical biological or Radiological) or even decent sized conventional warheads to any tactical distance over their own borders prior to the build up of forces in the gulf for the second party.

He had the claim put in the intelligence dossier though, which the press then ran with. That's what I meant, should have worded that better.

Thats very true and both himself and Tony Blair knew the truth about the claims, had full access to the UN Weapons Inspectors reports, which were proven to be accurate by the searches of Iraq after the invasion, and still werent prosecuted for misleading the House of Commons or the nation, let alone war crimes.

Yes Good Point.


A Dirty Player 100%

During the last year Sky news poltical bias has been a disgrace.........They allow that idiot from the Sun Kelvin to turn the news paper review into a party political broadcast on behalf of the conservative party........

Sky news is now far worse than Fox new for breaking the rules of poltical coduct which for broadcasting should be balanced......

Adam boulton and Jeff Randall together are an example of just how corrupted Sky news has become.....

"Adam Boulton and Jeff Randall "


No that is Fresh and Bright.

We do not want it to be like
the Bloated BBC
who just keep one reporter going on and on.

Some blonde girl LK just rants and rants in a Loop - it is terrible.




SkyNewsHD
second to none.

Rather have Sky News any day over the Left Wing bias of the BBC which, by the way we ALL have to pay for via the TV Licence, not just its Labour puppetmasters. Since we pay for the BBC we should expect impartiality but we don't get it do we?

New Labour are not used to being challenged about their lies and spin, so long may Sky News continue to confront and lay bare their lies and spin. Alastair Campbell is a bully and bullies don't like being challenged. Tough! If you don't like Sky News watch the BBC who will a*se lick their beloved Labour party.

Campbell is Angry at SkyNews Alone
as they Killed his Brown.
The Bigot Gate with Brown calling that old Lady bad names
although it went on all Media
it was a SkyTV Mic not a BBC one.
That Bigot Gate put many people well
angry about Un Elected Brown.
I heard them on BBC Radio
BBC News CNN News and Sky News
saying Why they Refused to Vote New Labour.
Fact.

At least Sky News has an opinion than the labour driven BBC who have to always give every side of politics to then say "were sittin on the fence on this one". Adam Boulton was correct to balistic at Alistor Cambell because he accused him of saying all sorts of crap about Labour and then Cambell had to cheek to keep pointing at Boulton so that the camera could see it. As for Kay Burley well what she did was her own opinion not one of Sky News but the fact a campaign that was supporting a Liberal Democrat way of thinking to then shouted "Watch a Labour News Channel" on Sky News is quite ironic.

I don't notice any Labour supporters on here screaming about the left wing bias of the BBC - typical of labour hypocrisy really. The difference being is that every single one of us has to finance left wing BBC propaganda through the extortionate licence fee we are FORCED to pay, whereas Sky News and other independent news channels are free to confront and challenge liars and cheats - of which Alastair Campbell is most definitely one of the biggest in the Labour hierarchy.

..........Professional journalists and news programs shouldn't favour anything, they should aim to report the news in a nonbiased way, you dislike BBC news for doing things by the book?

BBC favour LABOUR and always have, so before you criticise others for bias, be honest about that true fact, especially as those of us who hate Labour have to pay through the nose to keep the BBC going by way of our TV Licences.

Monday's Media Guardian had a review of the Election on TV and awarded SkyNews a comprehensive win for their coverage which was tighter, more incisive, quicker to the stories and fresher than the lumbering tosh on the BBC (the media boat, for example).

so sayeth the Guardian

Amen.
