Campbell's comment isn't even news, he said it on C4's Sunday Brunch.

This on the back of Saturday's leading story that 'a doctor says the NHS will only survive one more year under the Tories'.

A random vox pop, from the demo, that they couldn't even put a name to.

Headline news throughout the afternoon.

Sad days at Sky News.

"Alastair Campbell says Donald Trump makes his flesh crawl"

That's on the ticker this morning!! Not news, just opinion. Crazy.


I wouldn't really say it's "crazy", it could be argued that it is news on what someone well-known in politics thinks about a world leader.

While it is an opinion, there are stories in the news all the time about the opinions of certain well-known people about issues or other people.


It's not what was said, that makes it news, but who said it.

I personally think Alistair Campbell's relevance to UK political discourse is questionable - but as he was close to Tony Blair, a key part of New Labour, and a critic of Jeremy Corbyn - outlets like Sky will pay attention to him.

Well done Mr Campbell you've lowered yourself in one easy jump, to Trump's level of political debate

But it's a very stable easy jump to the level of very stable genius.

Never spotted before that the cyan LED strip and ‘panels’ below and above the led screens in the new studio were also actually screen. Very realistic.

At this point it's almost a month since they've been in the new studio and they were supposed to be testing for a month or two beforehand - I totally understand that there will be teething problems with moving to a new set-up and I don't expect it to be perfect, but they shouldn't still be having the volume of the issues that they are

Good to see this thread isn't going over-the-top at all. Rolling Eyes

Even with all the testing you like, errors will still happen with new galleries/studios/technologies etc.

It's been 5 years but BBC still have issues with the robot cameras.

And comparing Sky and Fox News is the sort of thing you'd hear on DS.
