Sky News' mask slips

Sky News' mask slips

Postby Voodoo Billy » Tue May 11, 2010 4:30 am

Sky News' apparently neutral reporting stance has slipped its mask. I've never been a fan of Labour's Alastair Campbell but his winding-up of Adam Boulton (the fat porcine in the centre) is gold dust. Boulton, in the last couple of days has failed dismally in concealing his dismay that his beloved Tory party may be in danger of missing out on government once again (for those who do not know, he is a Sky reporter not a Conservative MP, though you'd never know it from this clip).

Nick Robinson didn't sound very neutral either yesterday.

Good to see Rupert Murdoch's Sky News is as "Fair and Balanced" as its U.S. sister, Fox News.

Yes, but now she'd got her own Fox News Channel show, "Real American Stories"

(I removed the embedded video - there's no YouTube... and the 'official' video autostarts)

I think of Sarah Palin when using my Fleshlight.
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

I am hoping for a Palin-Lieberman* ticket in 2012.

I feel the laughs on the campaign trail would be immense.

*I meant Biden.

I'm down with Lieberman. What's your beef with him?

From the latest reports it sounds like the Tories will be in and Mr Boulton and his mates will be as happy as the proverbial pigs in shit.

Still, there's something to be said for having a government you despise. Cunts (can I say that boss?).

'Following the fracas with Campbell, which prompted the lion's share of complaints to Ofcom, BSkyB said: "Sky News political editor Adam Boulton defended his integrity and, by implication, Sky News's, against an attack by Alastair Campbell."'

Well if Madame Fifi is happy, then I'm happy too. Ahh, she's even got a bit of a yellow highlight through her hair to signify her approval of a possible Con-Lib coalition government. Bigotted old hag.
