Love it. "You seem to be a bit dim if you don't mind me saying so", awesome retort to a journalist.

So he's been an MP since 2001 and the report came out several years ago - why havn't labour MPs been clamouring for an investigation until now? It's clear no new facts have some to light - labour didn't want to avoid getting wafflestomped in every single newspaper shortly before an election... after the election OMG WE WUZ HACKED.

It's about as transparent as Wij's thong after being soaked by... an unknown substance.

Fair play to him, Sky are owned by the same cnuts as NOTW, she is defending them without a leg to stand on as they have already been found guilty of doing it on more than one occasion. Now we just need to know how far the rot goes.

A news channel is supposed to report the news, not be the news.
Sky News have a habit of being in the headlines themselves for the wrong reasons.

Kay Burley ambushing Peter Andre in Februday.
Kay Burley getting arsey with an activist in May.
Adam Boulton losing his temper on-air with Alastair Campbell in May.

I know the BBC aren't exactly clear of bias, but compared to Sky News they're the epitome of journalistic professionalism.

As you can tell, I have a poor opinion of Sky News and their reporters.

And genital warts are nowhere near as bad as AIDS, as wazz will confirm, I still don't want either of them.

Allegedly shagged her way to the top. Allegedly. Alleged by just about everyone I'm alleged to know.

She suits Sky news perfectly though.

I'm all for phone hacking tbfh. On balance, unless I hit it big, journo's aren't going to hack my phone whilst they may hack some MP's phone and find evidence that he's been bumming prince Harry whilst Max Mosley whips them both whilst being fisted by Nazi's. i.e. prince phillip and his wife...


TBFH, what's more worrying is that someone recorded sky news on their mobile phone. What's all that about then? :eek7:

Brilliant about time someone stuck it too her!

What happened to educated journalists, who actually had facts and knowledge of what they were talking about. She just bumbles through that whole interview with no fucking clue about anything.

To be honest she was just asking questions. The bloke might have been right for all I know but he was a sanctimonious prick.

He did come across as a bit holier than tho - but then I like it when people berate people who are obviously retards - and she was an obvious retard in that clip.

Thick people need to suffer more :)

She was being obtuse, her line of questioning was intended to downplay the issue or when that failed make it look like he was having a rant against a Tory minister, which he wasn't.

The guy addressed the broad issue, as he also did in parliment. She was point scoring and failed at every attempt, he might of come across as a cock to you Wij but he was 100% right and went on the offensive because if you don't on Sky News you get fucked over double quick. They are learning many bad lessons from FOX News.

The job of a news interviewer is to probe not to give a platform for opinions and fawn over them. She may not have done a very good job but that's no reason to act like a prick. Also, Labour have had quite an obvious strategy with Sky for at least a year, whereby at the slightest provocation they accuse of bias thereby rendering all questions ineffective as 'everyone knows' Sky are Tory. That's why Adam Boulton lost his rag the other month as they've been using that spin-trick for a while now.

At least when 'everyone knew' that the BBC were biased for Labour you didn't get Matthew Parris calling John Humphrys a thick shit.

He wasn't actually being a dick though was he, she was trying to make him look like a twat wihtout having any real knowledge of the topic she was meant to be discussing, then despite him saying that she would probably wave off the tapping situation, she tries a smug comment about him changing his own pin.

She's a smarmy bitch who shouldn't be in the position she is in. I want people with intelligence asking real questions so that as much information can be gleamed from the interview as possible. Instead of getting some more information about the actual topic she managed to turn it into the Kay Burley show again.

A lot of interviewers are starting to use this technique of a sly remark to make the interviewee look like an idiot or discredit them.

I'm glad she didnt get away with it this time round and I hope other people take the same stance this guy took to combat this idiotic style of questioning.

I think John Snow has a very good technique to probe into a subject. We neeed more like him

that was funny and im really glad she got made to look like a moron, her line of questioning if you could call it that was piss poor and she had no knowledge about what she was talkin about, as a result she got made to look like a twat and rightly so, how can she have a debate about a topic she is poorly versed in?

She's a newsreader, not a journalist, but she's trying to do/being asked to do a journalists job and it's showing up her inability to cope.
