Jane Hill is a rubbish journo, fact


No, I think you'll find that's an opinion, not fact.

Jane is a wannabe presenter with little ability sadly. I don't get why BBC News 24 try to promote her. Good newsreader, that's all.

Yes, that's just what you need in a crisis, isn't it? A TV news channel that is "slightly infactual". Christ.

Sky weren't first with the news that the second car contained a device though. Both BBC News and CNNI beat them on that one Wink


So we can sue Sky under the Trade Descriptions act now it's been proved they're not first for breaking news?

BREAKING NEWS

I don't think this needs its own thread at the moment, and the two stories could possibly be connected:

BBC News 24 are reporting that Glasgow Airport has been evacuated after a car hits the terminal building (Police have now confirmed this). The car was reportedly on fire at the time.

Yeah just saw that.

Peter Sissons is appalling at Breaking News. Mumbling stumbling baffoon. WOW - Helen Boaden, director of news is there LIVE!!

He has been quite bad all day. It was a man in the car that was on fire, not the car.
I am so worried, as my parents are due to fly in to Glasgow tomorrow morning.

He's really not suited to rolling news, is he?

IMO - Helen Boaden did very well. How incredible it is that she of all people was reporting from the scene. I should imagine as she is there, we'll be hearing a lot from her over the next hour.

Not at all! Hasn't a clue. I'm sure if this story develops, they'll get someone in to help him out. LOL
