ITV news is an absolute disgrace, whoever's responsible should be made to watch some brass eye and see the error of their ways...


Any particular reason for your comment, or is it just a general one?

If ITV News Channel were to be pulled from Freeview, I wouldn't be able to watch it even if I wanted to! And considering that ITVNC performs best on the Freeview platform, it would seem to be a very bad sign for the future prospects of the channel.

Absolutely abysmal interview with David Cameron on the evening news. Shocked Was about a two minute interview, 30 seconds of which was taken up in a stupid question about cannabis. WHY is she a political correspondant?

I saw that and couldn’t help but think "tabloid trash". Then that Big Brother thing, my God.

I worry for commercial television in Britain. ITV is supposed to be leading the way being the biggest etc. If that’s the future... "yay".

I usually catch ITV News because it’s a convenient time after college and after work is done but honestly, I'm going to end up waiting another half hour for Channel 4. ITN can do so much better, it’s a shame ITV PLC/News Group (or what ever they like to call them self’s now) is butchering everything.

Indeed. I'm also sure I heard in a report on Iran, the reporter say 'Iran have denied the claims, but then again they would.' Is it his job to pass opinions on that?

And that cannabis interview was just awful. Abridged version:

'Did you take cannabis at uni?'
'Well, everyone did stupid things at uni, and I'm certainly not going to reveal them in the House of Commons'
'I'll take that as a yes then'

Was tabloid journalism at its worst. Nick Robinson, please come back!
