Live Downing street feed dropped out there, and as they are showing Downing Street Live and his statement is in front of No.10 side by side, bit misleading. Adam Boulton back on, forced smiles galore.

Adam now in Downing Street - looks and sounds very flustered imo

Adam Boulton is fast loosing any credibility as a journalist and has seriously grated on my during the past few weeks!


You idiot, what has he done? He's told someone with a massive ego(Alastair Campbell) what he really is


Who are you to call me an idiot? Do you see me insulting you? I'm simply putting across my views like the majority of people on here do! As a journalist Adam should be able to keep cool and handle the situation without the anger he just expressed and without getting personal towards the guests on the programme!


Why do you disagree with Adam getting personal with his guests while beforehand Alastair Campbell said some very nasty things to Adam. I think a man who has been working 18 hour days for the past month(Adam not Alastair Campbell) deserves better than the FALSE accusations Alastair made. "fastly loosing ANY credibility" leads me to believe that you are an idiot and you don't know what your talking about

It is not his role to get "personal". If Sky and the political team he Adam leads were so unbalanced Adam would be able to deal with such events.

And if Adams 18 hour days mean he is unfit to work, why on earth is he there? If he can't handle the situation he should be big enough to admit it and take the time off to recover.

Skycopter seems to be out, going over Buckingham Palace, but with only one Live Bug, it's apparently in Downing Street.

I disagree with Adam getting personal with the guests simply because he is the journalist and it is his job to act professional and keep calm no matter what the situation is. So what if he has been working 18 hour days for the past month, that's his decision and if it is affecting his responsibility as an impartial journalist on the channel and leading to the aggression he just showed then maybe he should consider his position.

I am also simply putting across my opinion on the discussion board like everybody else here and feel that you are totally out of order to attack me like that! If you disagree with what I say then fair enough but there is no need to react the way in which you did!

I never said working 18 hour days means he is unfit. Im just saying a man who at the moment is pretty mush devoting his life to politics deserves better that flimsy accusations. Allastair was unable to back his argument up and Adam as he said "I actually care about this election." Allastair is in it for himself and not the labour party and no one else.

EDIT: And superbread I stand by everything I said about you and your idiotic comments.

Adam has just defended his position and said the whole thing was 'in the past' which is remarkable as it happened just 20 minutes ago.

Now justifying the spat - in the past he says - but Campbell did accept the premise of his points that the the Cons got more seats and more votes but that it is about who can form a govt and that in hung parliaments the biggest party doesnt always get into govt. Adam didnt give him the change to say all of this before jumping down Campbell's throat. Though I still wish Adam had hit him.

Bit naïve. That will have prompted yet more complaints about Sky News.

Sigh.
