Has just had to go off the air due to thugs/morons shouting obscenities whilst Kay Burley doing a live outside broadcast interview.

Kay Burley is a bitch. Anyone see that interview she did with Peter Andre?

Then there's that pompous fat-head Adam Boulton. Look up the exchange he had with Alistair Campbell on election night when Campbell accused Sky of bias. You can see Boulton getting quite upset.

I am no fan of Sky News or Kay Burleigh, but I really do despair of many Brits. No wonder we have a reputation for being loud-mouthed drunks across the world. :(

Yeah, a lot of your adult men act like big dumb college kids. If you're over 21 and you get stinking drunk and loud in public in America- you're considered a total loser or a mental defective

Aw, that's just an ancient youth mating dance. The more elderly mating ritual involves getting stinking drunk then sitting moaning about the kids/the wife/work/the goverment/the youth of today etc ad naseum until they either fall asleep or wee themselves or both.

It's quite endearing really...

He was getting upset because Campbell (Mandelson also waded in) was basically accusing Sky of breaking the law. There may be some substance to the 'biased' accusation, but it was at least worthy of a challenge from Boulton.

As for Kay Birley, I understand how people feel. I also know one of her early-exes who reliably informs me that she "does everything".......... :o

it turns more like Fox every day...

enjoyed Boulton and Campbell squaring up - Campbell had a point, they did focus on the nobody slagging off Brown but the worst was when Brown gave the best speech of the whole campaign and they focused over and over on the tit who stood up with a bit of paper.

Campbell and Blair would have pissed all over the 3 stooges put in front of us last week, soulless.

I enjoyed the Campbell incident. He was very happy to have sky and most of the other media kissing labour arses during the Blair era. now they've switched sides he wants an unbiased media!

OOOH which one do you know? I know several of of ex Burley bonkers too! Is it a cameraman by any chance? She had a thing for cameramen...

She's not a nice person - she may have changed in ten years mind you. Totally immoral, quite vicious. In my time at Sky she was party to the breakup of two marriages! A temperament to match Esther Rantzen's in her hey day.

So I'm afraid I chuckled at the spectacle of her being shouted down, knowing that inside she'd be black with rage. Real poisonous rage.
