I’m sorry, but Adam Boulton describing the current US President as a ‘pompous, petty little man’ just now is completely unprofessional.

Regardless of what you think about Donald Trump, a supposedly impartial broadcaster should not be dishing out personal insults to a world leader.

I suppose this is where the discussion around what should and shouldn't be allowed comes up again (although more in terms of the U.S. media).

He is definitely both pompous and very much petty - I don't think any reasonable person with even a slight grasp on reality could disagree? So should that be allowed? I'm not too sure - I guess so? As long it's by and large correct then it's alright?

Good on Huw for speaking common sense. It's ridiculous to even put people like him and other BBC journalists in the same group with the likes of Cuomo, Lemmon, Stelter etc.

Besides, it's not only CNN primetime that's full of opinionated talking heads. It has spread to daytime, especially with Brianna Keilar who now regularly has her little monologues where she preaches her wisdom and takes jabs at her FOX News people. All this in a midday slot. But it's working since she's getting good ratings, praise from management and is slowly, but surely, squeezing out Brooke Baldwin.

Brooke Baldwin does them as well, does she not? The only CNN hosts that come to mind who don't regularly do this sort of stuff is Christine Romans on Early Start as well as Jim Sciutto and Poppy Harlow on their morning Newsroom block.

I suppose it comes down to what should and shouldn't be allowed - I see the merit in having analysis and discussion on the air but I'm not sure what 'the line' is?

Are you allowed to say the President of the United States is lying? What do you call what happened at the Capitol on Jan 6? Protest, riot, insurrection, white supremacy, domestic terror attack?

I haven't seen or heard any of the coverage, but I assume they are using pairs of commentators/summarisers in the same location to overcome delay issues on the feed that they are commentating from, with those at home doing more of an analyst role than calling it ball by ball?

For TMS there aren’t necessarily pairs in each location - for example Jonathan Agnew, Andy Zaltsman and Ebony Rainford-Brent are each in their respective homes. Aggers is certainly doing ball by ball commentary.

A former colleague told me they’re all working from the same feed source with a known delay (allowing for some latency in each person’s internet connection).

Those in Salford have pictures that are delayed to match the feed to others commentating from elsewhere. So whilst they won’t all be perfectly in sync, it’s close enough that it doesn’t cause a problem.

From what I’ve heard it’s working very well.
